Kneeling for some classic words said by tennis player Li Na.

Q: How did you come back to play tennis?

A: I started playing badminton when I was six years old. Two years later, my coach said I was not cut out for this, but maybe I could try playing tennis. But tennis was not a very popular sport in China at that time, so my parents asked the coach where there was a tennis court. They finally found it, so they decided to let me play tennis instead. I was surprised. "Why don't you ask me?" But they really made their own decisions without my consent! Later, I didn't play games for two years. At that time my ranking hovered around 120. I've never been to a grand slam, and I haven't had a chance to participate in a big tournament. So I thought it was time to stop and do something else, so I left tennis for a while and went to the university to study media studies. I have many friends at school, but they don't know that I am a tennis player, and I seldom talk to them about my previous sports experience.

In China, we have the National Games, just like the Asian Games and the Olympic Games, which are held every four years. Later, my former team came to school and asked me if I would represent them in the National Games, because they didn't have many excellent players at that time. So I thought, "since they control everything, I'll go back!" " ".So I came back in 2004, and now it seems that this is the most important decision in my life.

Q: Is tennis an attractive sport or a hard job for you?

A: People may often overlook how hard tennis players train. They only saw the players win the grand slam and how much money they took. Yes, no one saw the sweat behind the grades.

Q: How does it feel to be the first Asian Grand Slam finalist?

A: Very excited. I saw Kimiko dating Cramer when I was very young, and now I can stand with her through the net! It is obvious to all that Japanese players are very efficient on the court. In China, we often say "something for nothing", which means that as long as we persist, good luck will come. I think that's what I am now.

Q: How did you spend the night before the final?

My husband told me to relax, but I was still nervous. I can't sleep. I wake up almost every hour, so I ask him, "Tell me how to relax?" Not only did he not know, but he seemed to have completely forgotten my existence and fell asleep. The next morning he asked me how I slept last night, and I said to him, "I think you should sleep in the bathroom tonight!" " "

Q: Looking forward to the future of tennis in China?

A: We don't have many top players yet. But this is really just the beginning. I hope that after four or five years, there will be a large number of young Russian players in China.

Q: You seem to be more outgoing than other China players?

A: Maybe because they don't speak English as much as I do, sometimes they don't know how to express something. They also tell a lot of jokes, but many foreign media can't understand Chinese ... In fact, there are many players in our country who are as extroverted as me, and you will see their achievements in a few years.
