For the second consecutive year in Australia, Li Na asks her Chinese fans to stop giving her instructions during matches. Last year at the Australian Open, Li asked the chair umpire to tell the fans to stop coaching her. In 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 loss to Victoria Azarenka in the Sydney final on Friday, Li told reporters: "Maybe they think I'm stupid so they coach me. But I would like to say I'm not stupid. I can play very good tennis. I think if they come to see more tennis they will know not to shout. It is something I couldn't change. I don't have to listen to what they say. I have to focus on my tennis."
