Sometime during the day, Li was seen doing this. Her expression makes one think it was surely after her splendid win.

A man who was proud of his win, just like Li Na, was David Ferrer.

Despite being two sets down against Davis Cup team-mate Nicolas Almagro, he managed to claw his way back.

The final scoreline was 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 and Almagro (in pic) said while he did let slip of a great chance to advance, that it was not a 'mentality problem.'

Almagro may or may not have mentality problems but this woman above has absolutely no such issues.

Maria Sharpova continues her march and earned a place in the semi against Li Na.

Sharapova recorded a routine 6-2, 6-2 victory in 1hr 6min over fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova.

Later when asked about Forbes listing her as the richest female athlete, she replied: Do you think that they have my pass code to my bank account?

American flags though were waved a little less enthusiastically as the William sisters bowed out of the double event.

To add to the woes, Serena twisted her ankle once again!
