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?
SHILIN XU:  Yeah, I train in China now.
