Li trounces Pliskova to advance
Print Edition
LI Na booked her fourth-round berth in Indian Wells a 6-3, 6-4 win over Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic.
Li, the world No. 2 and the top women’s seed, is seeking her third title of 2014. She lifted the trophy in Shenzhen before claiming the second grand slam crown of her career in Melbourne in January.
Li Na said she was loving her tennis life, despite elevated expectations and an inevitable smattering of nay-sayers who still think her two grand slam titles are a fluke. “Of course I always hear a lot,” she said.
“So many people say ‘Oh, she’s lucky.’ After I won the French, after I won in Australia, they say ‘Oh, she’s lucky, she cannot win anymore, blah, blah, blah. I say, that’s OK, doesn’t matter. I already have two (grand slams) in my pocket. Nobody can take it. I still love tennis life, I don’t care what other people say.”
