Li Avoids
Taking Political Questions
At
the age of 30, Li Na appreciates she is now in the veteran stage of her
tennis so the former French Open champion is this week in Tokyo and
turning a blind eye to a worsening diplomatic situation between China
and Japan, admitting: “There's not much time left so I have to work even
harder.”
At press conferences over the weekend Li adamantly
refused to answer any questions on her participation in the $2,168,400
Premier event on the WTA calendar, in which she reached the semi-finals
in 2009.
Hewitt Gets
Shanghai Wildcard
Former
No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt will make his sixth appearance in Shanghai in 13
years after being given a wild card into next October's Masters 1000
event. The 31-year-old Australian last appeared in China's commercial
capital in 2009, beating John Isner before losing to Gael Monfils.
The List of
Murray Boosters Grows
Even
former players are starting to take Andy Murray seriously after the Scot
made his Grand Slam breakthrough with a US Open title to back up his
summer Olympic gold performance. Now, Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean, a
one-time Top 5 player, has chimed in with an encouraging opinion of the
Scot's recent progress.
