“My dream has come true. I have always wanted to be a Grand Slam(大满贯) champion.” These are the words of Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam final in the French Open on June4, 2011.

Miss Li has a tattoo(纹身). She has dyed her hair many different colors. And, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she told her fans to “shut up” when they got too noisy in their support.
Li Na was born in Wuhan, she started to play tennis at the age of 6. She once recalled:“As a child, I felt sad because every day I had to wake up early to practice. After school I had to practice more. I didn’t have time to play.”
