Elena had another great performance against another top player. This time the “victim” was Li Na that couldn’t really contrast the Russian that is definitely at ease on grass courts.
From Elena
After the match an elated Vesnina commented “I’m really excited about this. I’m very happy to win, It was a tough match, especially against Li Na. I like to play on grass, I feel it suits my game. I’m really enjoying the surface this week.”
From Li Na
The Chinese had a different mood to comment “Today was a little bit of surprise, the way she’s playing.
I think sometimes I can play well, but sometimes I think I lose concentration on the court. That’s why the match was going like up, down a little bit.” said Li Na
Next vs. Wickmayer
Elena (ranked 36) will play a surprising Yanina Wickmayer (ranked 51) in the semifinal. Head to head is 2-1 for Vesnina. 1-0 on grass as the Russian won 6-1 6-1 in Wimbledon 2009
