Rabid tennis fans, no comment on?

Bill, my comments were unconnected - first about the call (I did not see it, so I don't want to judge the ball).

Then some comments on who I was rooting for (Li Na, marginally - I lived in China for a number of years, now live in Italy, and like both countries and their people) and the outcome of the match, but that was unconnected with the point before that. Surely I am not suggesting that the call was good because it went against Schiavone and in favor of Li Na, or something like that.

In terms of process, there is a call, Li Na questions it, the umpire looks at the mark and makes a decision. From the mark, it looks like a tough call either way. I believe the umpire should make the call she believes best, given the evidence (the umpire can look at the mark from close up, something the line judge cannot do).

I liked Schiavone's after the match remarks (as I read them) - she disagrees with the call, but acknowledges that once the decision is made by the umpire, it is made. And she acknowledged Li Na was stronger.
