MELBOURNE, Australia - In what she describes as her new life, Li Na is dealing with morning sickness, hoping for a baby .................................... and dreaming of becoming a housewife. The two-time Grand Slam champion says she will try not to tell her future child that she was once one of the worlds best tennis players.Not that she regrets a moment of her tennis career. If she could go back, Li wouldnt change a thing. Her life and career until now, she said, have been perfect.A day after making a centre-court appearance to publicly announce her pregnancy, the recently retired 32-year-old Li reflected on how difficult it was to leave the sport but said that she had been thinking about retirement for a long time and now feels at peace with her decision.If I have a next life, I will still choose tennis, Li told reporters Tuesday on the sidelines of the Australian Open. It was a very tough decision for me to make, to say good-bye to tennis. But I think now I just have to continue to do what Im doing, to take care of our family.Coming back to Melbourne marked a full circle in the life of Li. She returned to the Australian Open on Monday but not to defend her title, instead she came onto centre court to announce she and her husband, Jiang Shan, were expecting their first child this summer.Later, she posted a message on Facebook saying she chose to deliver the baby news on Rod Laver Arena because of the special connection she felt with the Australian crowd. It was here she made her first breakthrough in 2011, becoming the first ......................................... to reach a Grand Slam final, and where she gained wide popularity with post-match interviews that doubled as stand-up comedy routines peppered with wisecracks about her husband and former coach.In characteristic good humour, Li told reporters Tuesday that there were upsides to retirement, which she announced in September in the wake of a fourth knee operation.At least now I dont have to answer what goals I have for this year, Li said, laughing. I feel more relaxed. No stressing anymore. Right now, I think Im much happier.Li has kept busy since her retirement — she has been travelling with her husband and making plans to open her own tennis academy in China, where she is credited with single-handedly boosting interest in the sport of tennis. The WTA, which runs the womens tennis tour, has described Li as a trailblazer in the game and the continent. She became the first Chinese player to win a WTA title, the first to break into the top 20 and the first player from Asia to win a major. She reached a career-high ranking of No. 2 in 2014 before retiring.For now, the focus will be on family.Our new life just started a couple months ago, she said. I still have morning sickness.She doesnt know if its a boy or a .................................... but I prefer (a) she, Li said. Asked if she plans to teach her child how to play tennis, she said only if she was asked.I try to dont tell them I was the tennis player, she said in broken English and with a straight face. Its pretty simple. I wish them happy and healthy, thats it.Tennis was my job, its not their job you know. I think everyone has (their own) personality, she said, adding that she highly doubted her husband would be changing diapers but she was OK with that.I think my dream is to be a housewife, she said, adding that they hadnt planned ahead to have a child. It happened, she snapped her fingers, Just like this. Cheap NFL Authentic Jerseys . "Its embarrassing what were doing here," leading scorer Phil Kessel said Wednesday.

Two of his drives against Nick Martinez didnt make it past the warning track. Kendrick got another chance in the 10th inning and hit an RBI double to give Los Angeles a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night. Josh Hamilton started the rally with an infield single against Neal Cotts (2-4), and Kendrick greeted Jason Frasor with a drive to the fence in left-centre on a 3-2 pitch with the runner going. "Right there, I was just trying to stay honest. I didnt know whether he was going to throw me a fastball or not, because hes got a split also," Kendrick said. "So I was just trying to see the ball up. They were playing me to the opposite field, so there was a big gap in left-centre. I put a good swing on it and hit it in the right spot." Mike Morin (1-1) pitched one inning for his first major league victory, striking out three and hitting a batter. Jered Weaver allowed a run and four hits through eight innings, struck out five and walked two. The three-time All-Star left with a 2-1 lead after C.J. Crons leadoff homer in the eighth, but Kevin Jepsen promptly surrendered a home run to centre field by Shin-Soo Choo on his second pitch in the ninth. Jepsen, who has only three saves in six full big-league seasons, was given the chance to close by manager Mike Scioscia just two days after Ernesto Frieri gave up a walkoff grand slam to Clevelands Nick Swisher in the 10th inning of a 5-3 loss. Cam Bedrosian, who took the loss in that game, was optioned to Double-A Arkansas before Saturdays contest after giving up nine runs, eight hits and seven walks in 5 2-3 innings over his first six big-league appearances. Nick Martinez allowed two runs and three hits in seven-plus innings after retiring his first 15 batters. The 23-year-old right-hander gave a needed boost to a beleaguered pitching staff that had surrendered 10 or more hits in six straight games — the teams longest such streak since a nine-game stretch in August 2008. Martinez recorded 10 of his first 15 outs on fly balls — including two by Kendrick that were caught on the warning track — and another deep drive by Cron. "Thats the nature of this ballpark. You love it and hate it, but its not going to change for me or anybody else," Kendrick said. "Ive been playing here for a while, so you come to expect those things sometimes. The biggest thing is just going up there and tryingg to put good at-bats together and put good swings on the ball.dddddddddddd" Hank Conger broke up Martinezs perfect string with an opposite-field double into the left-field corner on a 2-1 count leading off the sixth and scored on a groundout by Efren Navarro that tied it 1-all. "Martinez threw a heck of a game on their side. I didnt know if we were going to get to him or not, but we were able to squeak one across," Weaver said. Weaver pitched with runners on base in four of the first five innings and didnt get his first strikeout until fanning Brad Snyder to open the fifth. Designated hitter Alex Rios, who came in 4 for 25 against the right-hander, led off the second with a double and was stranded at third when Robinson Chrinos popped out and Michael Choice grounded out. Choo led off the fourth with a grounder toward the ..................... that went under second baseman Kendricks glove for an error, but he kept going and was thrown out by right fielder Kole Calhoun. "If he gets to second there, that would have made all the difference in the game. So for Kole to come up with a big play there was huge," Weaver said. "Hes scrappy and he plays with a lot of emotion on his sleeve, and hes shown what hes capable of doing — not only on the offensive side but the defensive side as well." Adrian Beltre followed with a single and was erased on a double-play grounder by Rios, who got into an argument with umpire Vic Carapazza about a previous pitch that was called a strike and was ejected. Donnie Murphy replaced him as the designated hitter. Carapazza also ejected Choice in the 10th for arguing balls and strikes after taking back-to-back pitches that appeared to be out of the zone. That ran Texass season total to six ejections. "Hes got a quick trigger finger. He needs to settle down a little bit," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "This is the big leagues. Theres going to be some tension flying around, and hes got to be able to deal with some of that. People are out there competing. Hes got to have some patience. Hes got to control himself. Its ridiculous." NOTES: Weaver ended a career-worst streak in which he had allowed a home run in seven consecutive starts. ... Angels 1B Albert Pujols missed the game due to pain in his lower back.
