“I like America because the roads are really, really wide and the skies are really, really blue,” said Feng through an interpreter, who is visiting the United States for the first time.

The two players were able to warm up in a few games back stage before getting under the lights for the daily talk show.

“For her age, her talent level is phenomenal,” said Reed.Ellen closed out the segment by giving Feng a new warm-up, shoes and special Ellen paddles.
