Just 17 months ago, all eyes were on
Li Na, holding a trophy aloft at Rod Laver Arena
after defeating
Dominika Cibulkova in the Australian Open final.
It was her second Grand Slam title and the only ever won by a Chinese player.
This week,
Li Na, and her husband
Dennis, are celebrating an even better prize:
the birth of their first child, a girl named
Alisa, who was born Wednesday at 2:25 a.m. local time,
weighing in at just under seven pounds.
