The only Asian to ever win two singles Grand Slam titles, revolutionary Chinese tennis champion Li Na is now planning to train others to do the same.
The bombing from the baseline was not the first thing that Li Na noticed about Andre Agassi, her role model. "When I was young, they didn’t show much tennis on TV in China. One day I turned on the television and saw Agassi. He had long hair, an earring, and [wore] jeans. That was pretty special for me. I thought, ‘Tennis players are so cool’," Li Na said during a fan interaction this year.
