Li Na the first Chinese player to reach US Open semifinals
Li Na became the first Chinese player to reach the semifinals of a U.S. Open when she beat Russia's Ekaterina Makarova 6-4 6-7(5) 6-2 in the quarterfinals on Tuesday (Wednesday, PHL time).
Li, seeded fifth at Flushing Meadows, reeled off the last four games to seal victory after nearly two-and-a-half hours at Arthur Ashe Stadium, raising both fists in the air as the New York crowd roared its approval.
