OK, every supporter of Na! Li start her grass season in Birmingham!
However, she will play SHARAPOVA if she making the way to round 3! Good luck! make some history!

[pierce0415]

good luck to Na on grass
but I don't think we need a separate thread to cheer her on grass
we already have Na Li Cheering Thread where we will cheer her no matter what surface she is playing on

Anyway, i would like to put some information here

[GrassClay]

Bad draw.
Anyway, good luck

[Lunderbald]

Li got into round 2, hope she can go as far as possible

[1star]

Great win over two solid players on grass, esp. Danilinialo who took out Henin and split a set from Sharapova in 2005 WO. Keep going

[Lunderbald]

Yepi, Na Li got into round 3, well, fight against Maria...... Good Luck!!!!

[Lunderbald]

Li lost to Sharapova 2-6 4-6. She did Ok on her unfamiliar court. Don't know if she has any tourment next week.

[1star]

I thought Na could make it closer. Still a good tournament since she never played on grass the past 5-6 years!

I think Na can do a good job in doulbes partnering with Jelena.

[Alec]

The scoreline is not that bad, but I'm still so disappointed
