As rumored, Li Na retired from professional tennis at this week's end. Her news came courtesy of a Facebook post in which she beckoned others to "Be the bird that sticks out." To that end, Nike began a visually stunning campaign for her. In light of the retirement of such a such a wonderful, refreshing voice in tennis—one who reminded tennis observers and fans so often of a William Shakespeare line, "Brevity is the soul of wit"—this edition of Tweets of the Week is dedicated to Li's beautiful, fully realized career and life.
