THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. Just going back to what happened today on the court, have you experienced that sort of like heat stroke before in matches or is this the first time?
SHILIN XU: This was my first time, so it's a pretty frightening experience.
Q. I have to ask, because your English is remarkable, so why? Why are your language skills so great?
SHILIN XU: I went to the U.S. when I was eight, and I stayed there for six years and came back I think 14.
Q. Where in the States?
SHILIN XU: Florida.
Q. In Bradenton or...
SHILIN XU: Actually, I moved to quite a couple of places, but I ended up in Port St. Lucie. There is an academy there called Club Med Academies.
Q. What brought you over to the States? Just tennis?
SHILIN XU: Yeah, just tennis.
And my parents wanted to see how everything was there. It was different, so...
Q. I would imagine. So you came over with your parents?
SHILIN XU: Yeah, my whole family went there with me.
Q. But now you live in China?
SHILIN XU: Yeah.
Q. And train in China?
