What About the Chinese Ladies?

It was great to see Andy Murray win... at long last. He's an awesome player and he's finally got enough confidence to show this to the world, but we've all known for a long time that he has it in him and that he's up there amongst the greats. So why all the hype? Shame on the media for not making more of the fantastic achievement of Su-Wei Hsieh and Shuai Peng in beating the Ozzie girls, Barty and Dellacqua, in a game that showed tennis at its very best. To add insult to injury, the Guardian online showed an image of not Hsieh and Peng, but Ashleigh Bart and Casey Dellacqua holding their runners up trophy. Why? And why go on about all those matches the Australians failed to lose and say virtually nothing about the Chinese girls' mastery on court?
To make up for this travesty, here are a few pictures from China:

And, of course, Shuai and Su-Wei...
