Li Na Chinese professional Tennis Player

Li Na (born February 26, 1982) is a Chinese professional tennis player.

As of January 31, 2011, she is ranked as No. 7 in the world according to the Women's Tennis Association singles rankings, her career high. She has won four WTA and nineteen ITF titles. At the 2011 Australian Open, Li Na became China's first Grand Slam singles finalist player.
Reigning Australian Women’s Hardcourt Champion Na Li has confirmed her attendance at the 2009 Brisbane International

The Chinese star, currently ranked 23, said she was excited to be part of the newest tennis event in the world.


“We are very excited to have her return to Queensland,” Ayles said.

“We plan to put on one of the best events in world tennis and now we can showcase a range of quality talent with Na Li joining Ana Ivanovic in the female draw.”

“She is known for her quick reflexes, athleticism and fast ground strokes, which she scatters unpredictably to all corners of the playing surface.”

“I am sure she will be a crowd favourite,” Ayles said.

In 2008, Na Li took another step forward for Chinese tennis when she beat Belarusian Victoria Azarenka 4-6 6-3 6-4 in the final of the Australian Women’s Hardcourts on the Gold Coast, after missing the entire second half of the 2007 season with a fractured rib.
“After my win on the Gold Coast last year, I am looking forward to seeing the new Queensland Tennis Centre and its facilities – I have heard that the complex is amazing.”

“I love Australia and this tournament will provide a fantastic opportunity to play some high quality players, enjoy state-of-the-art facilities while soaking up some amazing weather at the same time.”

Brisbane International Tournament Director Steve Ayles said “Na Li has been one of the most successful tennis players in China’s history, and has been instrumental in advancing tennis within her country.”
This was her second career title after winning in Guangzhou in 2004 where she wrote her name into the history books as the first Chinese woman to ever to win a WTA event.

Na Li has won 21 women’s singles titles: 19 ITF events and two on the WTA Tour.

On 19 June 2006, Li became the first Chinese woman to be ranked in the WTA top 30. Two months later, Li entered the top 20 for the first time at No.20. Her highest ranking to date is No.16.

Tickets are now on sale for the Brisbane International through Ticketek, with reserved stadium seating starting at just $24.90.

Victoria Azarenka Hot tennis Player Photos

Victoria Azarenka is a Belarusian tennis professional who is currently ranked at number seven in the WTA rankings. She has won two Grand Slam titles in doubles but has yet to win a Grand Slam title in the singles. She won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title with Max Mirnyi in 2007 and then she won the French Open mixed doubles 2008 with Bob Bryan. Her records in the singles events of Grand Slams are not particularly impressive as she has only managed to reach to the quarter finals of Wimbledon and the French Open and the fourth round of Australian and U.S. Opens.





Victoria Azarenka is considered to be an aggressive baseline player. She is famous for her powered and well timed ground shots. The best shot played by her is the back hand which is considered to be one of the best in current women’s tennis. A forehand shot is considered to be her minor weakness which sometimes leads her to unforced errors which has improved in the recent times. But, her biggest weakness is her service because she struggles to earn cheap points and win close matches. But, with her improvements, she can surely go up to the top rankings with her performance.

The heatwave affecting America’s East Coast claimed its first casualty at the US Open on Wednesday when 10th seed Victoria Azarenka departed the tournament in a wheelchair after collapsing on court.

The 21-year-old from Belarus, one of many credible outside bets for the women’s title, keeled over when trailing Argentina’s Gisela Dulko 5-1 in their first round match as
temperatures again came close to three figures.

Eighth-seeded wildcard Victoria Azarenka registered a convincing 6-4, 6-1 win over fifth-seeded Maria Sharapova on Sunday afternoon to capture the singles title at the 2010 Bank of the West Classic.

Azarenka claimed her fourth career singles title- all on hard court- while becoming the fifth different Bank of the West Classic singles champion in the last five years. With the win, she improves to 4-6 in 10 career finals. Azarenka, who celebrated her 21st birthday yesterday, is projected to rise to No. 12 in the Monday’s new Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles rankings after winning the title.

A quarter-final appearance at the Australian Open suggested she meant business, but since then only a final appearance in Dubai is worth mentioning.

The 20-year-old split with long-time coach Antonio Van Grichen and her game has unravelled several times this year, revealing her fiery temper.

Possessing one of the best two-handed backhands in the game, as well as one of the loudest grunts, the American-based star has the ability to go deep in a major, but a first-round exit in Paris has summed up her current slump.

A good draw is imperative to her chances of reaching the second week at Wimbledon and current form suggests Azarenka is a long shot for the title.
