The search for another Li has to start with the kids

To nobody's surprise, China's female tennis players came up short at last month's Australian Open.

Peng Shuai showed promise in the doubles competition with her partner Hsieh Su-wei, but they were eliminated in the semifinals by Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic.

Peng's performance in the singles, however, was another story - she crashed out in the first round to 15-year-old Ukrainian qualifier Marta Kostuk.
