LONDON, July 2: Surprise Wimbledon semi-finalist Zheng Jie will use her prize money to help the earthquake victims in her home province of Sichuan, she said on Tuesday.

“I will donate all my portion (of the prize money), I want to do as much as I can,” said Zheng after becoming the first wildcard to reach the Wimbledon last four.

“I would like to give it all but I have to give some back to the (Chinese) tennis association,” added Zheng.—Reuters
