Condition: BRAND NEW ISBN: 9780143800057 Author(s): Li Na Format: Paperback Language: English Year: 2013 Publisher: Penguin China Pages: 290

Description: Li Na is a tennis player few forget. She claimed an unprecedented victory at the 2011 French Open at age twenty-nine, and became the first player from an Asian country to win a Grand Slam singles title. Outspoken and likeable, the 'late-blooming' Chinese tennis superstar is one of the world's top ten players, and has championships on grass, clay and hard courts to her name.

Beyond the rankings and million-dollar endorsements is a life just as remarkable as her success. Li Na grew up within a rigid national sports system, living away from home and training six days a week, and spent years struggling to believe in herself. Her outstanding feats in a sport she grew to love, recovering from three knee surgeries and conquering her own demons, are nothing short of inspirational.

Told with honesty and humour, Li Na: My Life is the moving story behind an extraordinary sporting icon.
