Li Na hopeful of quick return
Australian Open runner-up Li Na will visit doctors in Germany on Monday for treatment on her sore left ankle and is hopeful of returning to action in a fortnight, the Chinese world No 5 said on Thursday.
Li rolled her ankle twice in losing the final of the women's singles at Melbourne Park to world No 1 Victoria Azarenka on Saturday.
"It's sore, so (I) will see doctor on Monday," Li told reporters on a conference call.
She has been recuperating at home in China and visiting family since her near-miss at the year's first grand slam.
Providing she is fit, the 30-year-old would return to action at the Qatar Total Open in Doha on February 11-17, she said.
