PARIS, May 28 -Li Na postponed1 a shopping trip in the French capital for a couple of days at least after beating Sandra Kloesel of Germany 7-6 6-0 on Monday to reach the second round.

The number 16 seed, who describes clay as her worst surface, recovered from a slow start to beat the world number 88 in one of the few matches to be completed on day two because of rain.

"I don't like clay but I love Paris," she said.

"I love to go shopping, so I was like, if I lose the match, I go shopping."

Li found herself 3-0 down before she had really warmed to the occasion and looked set for a long match when Kloesel extended her lead to 5-3.

The two players were then forced to leave the court because of the rain and the break obviously helped Li, who recovered to take the first set on a tiebreak, before romping2 through the second.

"I didn't warm up for the morning because they didn't give us the court for a warm-up so I didn't feel warm at the start and then it was 3-0.

"After 3-0, I came back a little bit but at 3-5 down, I was like, 'thank you for the rain today'
