Li Na: 'Experience saw me through'

By , Rugby Editor
Li Na has believes that her experience was the difference during her win over Belinda Bencic in the second round of the Australian Open.

Li Na has claimed that her experience made the difference during her win over teenager Belinda Bencic in round two of the Australian Open.

The Chinese fourth seed saw off the 16-year-old 6-0 7-6(5) on Wednesday to book her place in the third round of the tournament.

"Nobody says if you win the first set easily you can win the second set easily - that's why we play best of three sets," Li is quoted as saying by the WTA's official website.

"She played very well. I think she gave me a very tough time at the end of the second set. But I was really happy that in the end I could use my experience and win the match."

The former French Open champion will now face Czech 26th seed Lucie Safarova for a spot in the fourth round.
