I did not surprise because Aniko and Zheng are good players. Aniko is consistent player and can dominate Ai if she does not make UE. Zheng is a dark horse, The veteran players like Tammy and Ai have to play more carefully.

Well done Tammy.

Parra :mad:

I am quite happy to see Jie pulled out this match after her heartbreaking loss to Craybas a week or so ago. Poor thing was carried out on a stretcher and was tears... :sad: Way to hold it together Jie!

Yes :sad: . And it happened at 'home' in front of her own crowd :sad: .

+ her match against Tamarine had been extremely close 3 weeks ago in Bali and Jie knew she could do it :D .

Brilliant wins for Jie & Zi. :D
It's too bad their victories are hardly noticed by many... :(

Poor Tammy though. :sad:

Poor Tammy though. :sad:
Yeah, there is only that in the WTATour website :

Thursday action also saw the completion of second round matches at the $170,000 event, with Chinese players winning two of the three encounters. Lucky loser Zi Yan upset No.6 seed Ashley Harkleroad 76(5) 64 while Jie Zheng ousted No.2 seed Tamarine Tanasugarn 16 62 64. The Chinese teammates will square off in the quarterfinal, ensuring the Tour's first Chinese singles semifinalist since Fang Li reached the Pattaya final in late 1998.

Thinking that the journalists in Shanghai were saying that this generation of Chinese players is not as good as the previous one :rolleyes: . Just reminds me of some journalists from the French sports magasine L'Equipe for the Soccer World Cup in 1998. All the same :rolleyes: .

Pattaya was a Tier IV in 1998 if not mistaken while Tokyo is a Tier III :D . And when is the last time China had two players in a WTA QF?

As for Ai, I just learnt how she injured herself in her match against Yuka :eek: :

In the second point of the third-set tie-break, the world No.12 caught a ball that was a fault instead of blocking it with her racquet. She was subsequently treated for the injury and despite managing to win the match, overnight icing failed proved insufficient in eliminating the pain she felt when hitting her backhand. Sugiyama still hopes to play in nxt week's $650,000 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Filderstadt, Germany.

That WTA snippet even managed to get something wrong... :rolleyes:

The last Chinese player to make the SF of a WTA Tour event was YI Jing-Qian in Tashkent 2000. :(

You're right :eek: . Against Schiavone :rolleyes: . You should write a mail to the WTA for that :) .

Can't find however a WTA tourney where two Chinese players reached the QF though. It could be a first :confused: .

This is however not as bad as Associated Press saying two weeks ago that ZHENG Jie and SUN Tian-Tian are unranked :eek: , while Jie is close to the top 100 now :rolleyes: .

:) Maria And Jie!!!!
