If you didn't catch Li Na's post-match interview last night on ESPN2, you missed a real entertaining one. Australia's Channel 7 interviewer, former British women's No. 1 player Sam Smith, asked Li about feeling nervous and "restricted" during the semifinal match against Caroline Wozniacki. In response, Li joked about how she didn't get a good night's sleep because her husband/coach, Jiang Shan, was snoring all night. She even gave a little imitation of it. Then, Smith goofed up and congratulated Li and Shan on their fifth wedding anniversary, which drew perplexed looks from both their faces. She was like, "No, our anniversary is on the 29th, not today. Right, honey?" (Oops. Someone at the WTA needs to update Li's bio in the media guide.) It was nice to see Li not only beat Wozniacki in a match, but match the Dane in handling the media with charm and wit.
