Synopsis
In 2008, Li Na left China's national sports system under an experimental programme for tennis players that enabled them to 'fly solo', which, in three short years, led to her career-defining win at the French Open. Li Na: My Life is the remarkable story of her journey from young tennis talent to the first Asian singles player to win a Grand Slam. Li Na explores her experiences of personal tragedy at an early age, growing up within the country's rigid sports system, and the challenges of being true to yourself wiht a billion people's expectations weighing down on you.

About the Authors
Li Na started playing tennis at seven years old. She joined the national team at 14 and turned professional two years later. She left the national team in 2008 to pursue an independent career, becoming one of the first Chinese athletes to do so. In June 2011, Li Na won the French Open and became the first tennis player representing an Asian country to win a Grand Slam singles title. She continues to dominate professional women's tennis and consistently ranks within the top 10.
Li Na is China's number one tennis star and a much loved global icon. In 2011, she reached the singles final at the Australian Open - an achievment she repeated in 2013 - and on June 4 of the same year, she won the Roland Garros, making her first Asian player to win a Grand Slam singles title. In 2013, she was included in Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.
