Let's start off the Ox year with some updates from Zheng Jie.
She took a water taxi ride along the Yarra River yesterday on New Year Eve.
Today she'll have a big match in the quarterfinal against Svetlana Kuznetsova. I'm a fan of Kuzy so whoever wins and through to the semifinals, I'll be just as happy.




Updates:
Oh no! Zheng Jie retired from the match after a wrist injury in the first set.
Kuzy will now face second seed Serena Williams in the quarterfinals, who also enjoyed a brisk workout after her opponent, Victoria Azarenka, retired due to dizziness and an "undisclosed illness".
