Haha but i think marta is retiring and my brother will be a little bit annoyed of me if I beat him which is rare because it is his chance for his character to become number 1

Li Na : Come on!!! Great performance in doubles. We played very good second set. I don't remember if we save a match point. But after the tough first set, it's really good feeling to win the second in this way. Nice job @Franchesca. We will be playing the first final. Hope to do well. Hope you will do well in singles too! I still can't believe we defeat the top seed.

I still don't know who's the manager of Fran??
