(Na Li is pictured above at Wimbledon 2010, where she enjoyed a fine tournament before bowing out in the quarter-finals to eventual champion Serena Williams. Earlier in the year, at the Australian Open, Na went one better, reaching the semi-final stage of a Grand Slam event for the first time before coming up against Williams once again who prevailed in two hard fought sets.)
