The ninth seed won 6-1, 6-3 inside 58 minutes, ending the Australian number two's impressive run at the All England Club. Li, the first Chinese player to rank in the top 10, will face Polish seventh seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the fourth round. "I never throught I could win easy because in the last round Rodionova beat Svetlana Kuznetsova and I knew she was a good player with a big serve," Li told AFP. "I tried to play more aggressive because I know sometimes she tries to talk to the opponent and the chair umpire. "Before the match, the coach told me: 'It doesn't matter if she says something on the court. If she says something, just turn round and after she's finished just focus on the court, don't think about what she's doing.' "Every time she tries to talk to the chair umpire and make the opponent angry so I didn't want to listen to what she said, I just focused on my side. "You play against an opponent in tennis, not in talking." Rodionova had previously annoyed Anne Keothavong during their first round match, with the British number three saying: "She's what she is. She's kind of renowned for some of her antics." Li's match with Rodionova was played on Court 18, where John Isner and Nicolas Mahut disputed the longest tennis match ever known. The previous match played on the court ended in controversy, with Romanian seed Victor Hanescu fined for unsportmanlike behaviour after spitting towards a section of the crowd. Li was hardly troubled in the first set, which she wrapped up in 22 minutes. Rodionova had break point on a deuce at 4-3 down in the second set but Li levelled matters then won the game when the Australian hit the net. Rodionova, playing with a mini Australian flag on her cap, therefore had to serve to stay in the set. Li earned herself two match points then won the tie with a fierce backhand cross court shot. Li's best performance at Wimbledon came in 2006, when she reached the quarter-finals. The Chinese entered the Championships this year in hot form, winning her first grass court title at Eastbourne by defeating Maria Sharapova in the final. Had she won, Rodionova would have become the first Australian to reach the ladies' fourth round at Wimbledon since Jelena Dokic in 2000. Reaching the third round here matched her best Grand Slam performances. Rodionova downed Russian 19th seed Kuznetsova, the former French and US Open champion, in the second round to set up the Li clash.
