NaNa thanks for taking a few years off of my life

for the people complaining Na not hitting enough winners it is because Christina ran EVERYTHING down, including shots that would be winners against every other SEWTA player except Agnieska and Karolina

 

[LCS]

So defensive NA-MUG :lol:

 

[azinna]

Love Na Li's ability to adjust and (gasp) calmly construct advantageous points.

....

 

[GoofyDuck]

Mchale's gameplan was right when Na-Mug was on the court. but when Na played better Mchale's pushing was not so smart anymore.

Na's Fh was pretty good today

Get rid of the lapses please

 

[RenaSlam.]

Li is not winning this title.

McFail's backhand was AWOL pretty much the entire match.

 

[BlueTrees]

Li played pretty good last two sets :yeah:

Christina

 

[WowWow]

bulldozed her? :spit:

 

[Kon.]

Na
Many errors at some points but when she stepped it up there was no chance for McHale.

 

[njnetswill]

Na is such a confidence player and this match exemplified that. When she's feeling down or unsure of herself she can barely get the ball in play but when she's feeling more comfortable the level of her game rises to SuperNa level.

The key for Na is to be able to play an effective transition game and move forward to finish off points. When she's on it is a delight to watch her smack winners but when she's off it results in some of the ugliest botched volleys, overheads, and approach shots.

 

[misty1]

disaster averted

she was awful in the first set but stepped it up in sets 2 and 3 and christina had no answers

 

[it-girl]

Once Li made the adjustments it was over for Mchale. Li is looking very good. She started striking the ball really well and had more consistency which is a great sign going forward.

 

[BH both wings]

Great defense by McHale, I lost count how many winner-shots of Li she still brought back and put them precisely on Li's baseline. Pretty fun to see how one-dimensional Li was completely lost with a player she couldn't outhit, but who isn't weaponless either.

However, impressed with Li's response! She shifted her grip, put in some top-spin, brushed of the dust of her rally building abilities and went for wrong-footing McHale! Li Na has a brain? Well, you'll need it next round against Shvedova for sure ...

 

[Boxuan]

Where's my choking queen? Where did she pick up the ability of bringing up a plan B, and implement it perfectly?

 

[vevenyin]

SuperNa comes out and defeat ErrorNa,God bless

 

[aloeball]

I think it was an amazaing last two sets by Li. Very patient play but also hitting aggresively and winners as well - albeit against a semi-pusher.

McHale ran everything down but outta steam in the third.

 

[Break My Rapture]

McHale's game is really suited to the clay in Paris. She runs down a lot of balls and her average rally shot is quite heavy.

And her service motion is great, first serve packs a good punch.

 

[LUVMIRZA]

Well done LiNa...building steam for her SF match vs BB

 

[Libertango]

Phewwwwww.

 

[Baby-Na]

This match might help her mental strength.

 

[oliviasmith]

Na
Still haven't forgiven her for Rome though. :smash:
