After several near-misses over the years Li Na has finally won the Australian Open, and following her straight sets victory over Dominika Cibulkova the 31-year-old delivered a speech for the ages.
Li hilariously thanked her agent and asked him to make her rich. She also gave a shout-out to her husband, Dennis, telling him how lucky he is to have her and thanking him for serving as her hitting partner and bartender.
“My husband, even famous in China,” Li said. “Thanks for him [to] give up everything, just traveling with me to be my hitting partner, fix the drinks and fix the rackets. So thanks a lot. You’re a nice guy. And also you are so lucky to find me.”
Between Li's speech and Richard Sherman's post-NFC Championship game remarks, these past few weeks have given us some fantastic and candid postgame moments. Here's to many more of these in the near future.
