China hopes to inspire the younger generation Li Na

Tennis Chief Sun Jinfang the thumb of China on Saturday to record Lina Na and 29-year-old veteran is expected to stimulate more Chinese tennis in the future.

Li Na made history, she became the first Chinese player to win Grand Slam singles titles and her 6-4,7-6 (0) Italian Francesca Schiavone defeated French Open.

As has been runner-up to this year, Clijsters won the Australian Open and Paris, Lina has been proved that the players can share the glory in the tennis world.

"This victory is truly one has been dominated by Europe, Australia and America is the movement of players in the major breakthrough. This is a great source of pride for all Asians, it could serve as a great milestone to become a tennis development, "said Sun, who watched Lina strong play from the stands.

"Lina declared itself a pull up a great game, and show high spirits professional. She is a new image of Chinese sports," she added.

Sun has been relatively Lina Houston Rockets center Yao Ming and Olympic champion hurdler Liu Xiang, China's most well-known up to now the international professional athletes.

Chinese tennis federation has been working hard, women's doubles, to make a breakthrough in a Grand Slam level, to help improve the singles.

The efforts have paid off the three Grand Slam doubles champion, Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2006 (Yan Zi and Zheng Jie in the women's doubles), and the 2008 Australian Open (the Sun and the Serb Reina Deese Mongolia Silajdzic every day mixed).

Li Na of China's victory was the fourth in a Grand Slam, but it is certainly for the sports crazy nation one of the most critical, and will serve as a rapid growth momentum in the game popular here.

Lina was emotional, the Chinese national flag fluttering above the first and the Chinese national anthem played on center court at Roland Garros in her honor.

"All tennis on China who contributed to this success in their own way," Sun said.

Tennis in China is considered an elite sport, although the number of players is growing rapidly, but still far behind basketball, football, table tennis and other sports, the number of participants to run. The eyes of the Sun, Lina's victory is a tremendous boost to change that.

"Victory to the Chinese tennis has a great influence, I'm sure this will help re-evaluate the sport and encourage more youngsters to play tennis."

In her brilliant success, this season, Lina has been shown to be a super star, last season through contact with her compatriots Zheng's Australian Open semi-final, symbols.

This is the first time after striking the top four elite female athletes, including Li Na, Zheng Yan, Peng Shuai's performance is from the Chinese Tennis Association (CTA) management obligations at the end of 2008, freed and pocketed most of the money that they earned.

Self-management prove to be a double-edged sword for some time as the release of all the stars refuse to even Lina, a player, Kim Clijsters and Svetlana Kuznetsova at least five years ago that the top ten blockbuster.

Lina is a little rebel who had been with the state-run sports system in some cases, the differences between her, but she admitted that she and her family benefited from the system can not afford the cost of a lot of training and competition. When Lina operations in 2009, injured her knee, she even returned to help the system.

After a long wait, Lina, who is far-reaching world number four in the next week's WTA rankings, and finally on the right track, she hopes her success will inspire the Chinese divide the players appear to challenge the traditional center of a new generation of sportspower in Europe, Australia and the Americas.

"I want my performance to see many children in their hearts, they feel that one day they can be like me, doing better than me," she said.
