Flash news out of Wimbledon: Ana Ivanovic has been upset by China's Zheng Jie, the two-time Grand Slam doubles champion who has been coming back from an ankle injury that derailed much of her 2007 campaign. China shocked the tennis world when another women's duo, Sun Tiantian and Li Ting, were the upset winners of the Olympics in Athens; and by 2006 it was starting to look like China's women were establishing themselves firmly in the upper echelons of the sport, with Zheng Jie and Yan Zi winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and singles ace Li Na making it to the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Since then the road has been rockier, but today in England Zheng Jie brought back a little bit of the magic that turned the 2006 Wimbledon into a showcase for China.

Mary, your private profile makes you look snobbish. Change that.
