Li Na

I think because I was the first Chinese player to win a grand slam, people were thinking: 'She's not like normal people.'

I would prefer to have no money but to have a nice family and good friends around.

People in China say: 'If you love your children, send them to New York. If you hate your children, also send them to New York.'

If I have children, after school they'll always feel happy energy in the home.

The first time I showed the tattoo, it was big news in the newspaper: 'She has a tattoo with a snake.' It's not a snake.

I need some time to recover. I'm not a machine.

I felt sad because everyday I had to wake up early to practice before going to school. After school I had to go back to tennis again, and then after tennis I had homework. I didn't have time to play.

It was a big decision to leave the system because many people said I would fail.

The weather for me is nothing special. The weather couldn't kill me.
