| p = Lǐ Nà | w = li3 na4 | mi = }}Li Na (born 26 February 1982) is a Chinese former professional tennis player. She achieved a career-high WTA ranking of world No. 2. In her career, Li won nine singles titles, including two Grand Slam titles at the 2011 French Open and 2014 Australian Open. Those victories made her the first Grand Slam singles champion from Asia, male or female. She was also the first player representing an Asian country to appear in a Grand Slam singles final, finishing as the runner-up at the 2011 Australian Open. Li was the runner-up at the 2013 Australian Open and 2013 WTA Tour Championships, a three-time quarterfinalist at Wimbledon and a semifinalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2013 US Open. Among her other most notable achievements, she was the first Chinese player to win a WTA Tour title at the Guangzhou International Women's Open in 2004, the first to reach a Grand Slam singles quarterfinal at the 2006 Wimbledon Championships, and the first to break into the world's top ten.
By 2013, Li's accomplishments had made her the most successful Asian tennis player in history, landing her on ''Time'' magazine's list of 100 Most Influential People in the World. She is credited with growing tennis in China, with former world No. 1 Chris Evert writing: "Tennis has exploded in China. The country now has some 15 million tennis players; 116 million watched Li win the French Open. That kind of exposure is crucial to our sport, and it never would have happened without Li."
Li retired from tennis in September 2014, at age 32. In 2019, she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Provided by Wikipedia
