Q. Now Li Na's farewell press conference is holding in Beijing now. After she announce her statement of retirement, some were asking her a question that if you have a chance to choose one of the players in the tournament as your sister, who you will choose. She choose you. Yeah. Listen to this. Do you have some comments for that?

PETRA KVITOVA: First it's so nice from her that she said my name. You know, I'm going to miss her so much. We are good friends, and we had great battles on the court and always had fun in the locker room. She always make me smile, so it was always very nice to be with her and share these moments with her.

I don't think that I, only me, am gonna miss her but I think all WTA Tour and the fans. She's very funny. I think that you Chinese can be very proud of her.

Q. (Off microphone.)

PETRA KVITOVA: Yes.

Q. (Through translation.) You mentioned just now you and Li Na are pretty good friends. Could you please give us some examples? And after her retirement, Li Na will like usher in a new stage of her life. Will you still stay in contact with each other?

PETRA KVITOVA: Well, I can't really share any private conversations, but I mean, it wasn't really big deal. I mean, we always speak with some small things. Nothing really big.

You know, I think we have the same sense of humor, so that's why it was always very nice to speak with her. After every match we just had a hug. Doesn't matter who won or lose. It was always very nice to speak with someone before the match and same straight after.

So it's not really happening so often, so I'm just glad for that. I hope that we stay in the touch, for sure. She's a great girl. Unfortunately I think for me she gonna stay in China and I'm in Europe. So it's not gonna be very easy. But maybe we gonna see if she go to visit some tournament or something. So it's going to be nice.
