You know a lot can be accomplished in a short period of time. Like a weekend for instance, the places you can see, the things you can do. Traversing the cold and windy plains of China, standing high on a mountain top looking out at all below you, thinking of the great people who have come before you. And you know you don't even have to leave your appartment...imagination my friends. And now please imagine...the sports on china drive.

You see, I just moved and I don't have T.V. or internet right now. So I got to keep myself entetained at home, I also built some really cool forts in my place.

And here's something really cool, like cool in a good way...by the way.

Chinese women's number one Li "wicked forehand" Na ousted last year's runner-up Francesca Schiavone of Italy in straight sets in the opening round at the Sydney international tennis tournament on Sunday.

The world No. 21 registered 75 percent first serves to knock out Schiavone 6-4, 7-5 in 94 minutes.

Li will now face the winner of sixth Russian seed Elena Dementieva or Japan's Ai Sugiyama in the second round.
Highly-rated Serb Ana Ivanovic cruised to a 6-3, 6-4 win over Australian Casey Dellacqua.

In other matches, Israel's Shahar Peer beat Anna-Lena Groenefeld of Germany 6-4, 6-2 and eighth-seed Nicole Vaidisova of the Czech Republic defeated Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova 6-1, 6-4.
