Li a win away from making history

LI NA is once again one win away from changing history.

The Chinese star, 29, booked her place in the French Open final today after swatting aside Maria Sharapova in Paris.
Back in January, Li had the chance to spark what many hope will be a monumental tennis boom in Asia.
That time Kim Clijsters ensured she went home empty handed.
But now she has another chance.
And the way she dispatched poor old Shazza gives the indication that this time there will be no messing around.
If Li manages to become the first ever Asian woman to win a Grand Slam , the boost it will give to the game in her homeland should not be discounted.
Tennis isn't as popular as it should be in those parts.
There is interest, but other sports dwarf it.
Beating Francesca Schiavone, the reigning champ from Italy, will not be easy.
The way she dealt with a partisan home crowd desperate for Marion Bartoli to win in straight sets spoke volumes for her grit and character.
Fifth seed Schiavone, who will turn 31 in three weeks' time, said: "I hope my experience from the final last year will help. It's a dream come true to reach another final.
"But Li has had an amazing year. She was in the Australian Open when she lost to Kim Clijsters. It will be tough. She is a great player and a great person, but someone has to win."
You have to admire Schiavone but you feel watching Li carve her own special place in the history books will be extra special.
It could change the game forever.
And when you consider the somewhat dire state of women's tennis right now, that wouldn't be a bad thing.
