Li Na, China’s former top tennis player who won nine WTA singles titles - including two Grand Slam singles titles - was at the Hong Kong Tennis Open where she talked about Naomi Osaka and her successors.
The Hong Kong Tennis Open is a WTA International Tier tennis tournament running from October 8-14, 2018.
She switched from WTA to ATP forehand mid career. What a talent. So sorry to see her retire.
Two sentences about Naomi doesn't justify the title of this video clip!
Lina inspired us many ways. I was watching her both grand slams from TV. I really pushed myself out felt like I am Lina who gonna win. The result were both the winner. Lina, you are such a special player with warm heart. I am sure you will help others with your best ever. There is no way to see same of Lina , but we wish to see similar of Lina , in the near future. Love you, Lina from Vancouver, Canada.
Looking really pretty there. She was one of my favorite players.
Bo Rood ----- ME TOO ! I always thought that Li Na is so pretty and an exciting player to watch. I will never forget her 2011 French Open win, when she fell to the clay in sheer joy. I still miss seeing her play and hearing her name.
I miss Li Na !!!!!!!!
Yeah she was good for the game. A great person.
There is no shortage of talents in China. The problem is in the bureaucracy. In my humble opinion, Li Na could have achieved more, far more, much much more, had she not stopped for a while during her career. I admire, always admire, both she and her husband in their will to achieve on their own. That was brilliant. Without a doubt, there will be better tennis players coming from China. However, she will forever be the first Chinese Grand Slam holder.
Nice to see her go back to China to spend the rest of her life with her family. I also live in China.
LINA told Chinese media 2 years ago after Naomi won US open that Naomi could win 10 grand slams at least, if she wants and keeps healthy. Naomi is certainly moving toward that direction..
Love and proud of her! Such a wonderful and beautiful athlete.
You're always my favourite player Li .. thanks for tennis that you've played... you're amazing. Always live in my memory..
She looks thinner, she looks so pretty in that shot.
In her recently interview，she said naomi could win 10 grand slams in her career at least
Finally some positive news about China from SCMP lol.
If I'm not mistaken this clip is about Li Na not China...
@calforrai Um, 'Li Na, China’s former top tennis player' is literally in the description, SCMP does have a thing for reporting misbehaving Chinese tourists though.
@@calforrai what is ur point then?
@@calforrai right. China is a country Lina is a tennis player.
Li Na is the only asian player to win a GS in singles. O'Zaka is from USA / Haïti.
Osaka is japanese-haitian. Asian-american. just the name sound asian-japanese.😂
how can you be so confident and wrong? she was born in japan but even if she wasn’t, she still has a japanese parent making her Asian.
I hope to see her compete in the 2021 Tokyo Olympic game.
Hi Li Na!
I'm your fan!
Looks like Li was practicing with Sam Stosur. The perks of being a grand slam retired tennis champ.
LI NA ... my hero.. actually.. I stopped following WTA when she retired.. I watch sometimes but not like before.. all LI NA's matches.. I always watch even if I have to wake up at 1am 🤣🤣🤣
Liked watching Li play.
Osaka now has 4 grand slams!
This certainly is getting recommended I guess🥴
“Mentions”.
She is beautiful, inside and out.
😧😧😧😧😧😧😧
Now you will have Emma raducanu
We miss you on court Li
Merci d'av
ancêtres
Lovely player we miss u
She is so beautiful
she's really pretty, Li na. I'm not kidding really. I'm serious seriously. If I could have my way she would be my friend.
Is this Mandarin or Cantonese? Which do most Chinese speak?
Mandarin. The majority Chinese speak Mandarin. Cantonese is mainly spoken by people in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macau, and some ethnic Chinese in some other countries.
Mandarin is the official language. Cantonese is kind of like a dialect in China.
We are family! Blood thicker than water
Really? Sorry, Osaka is not Asian. Mother is but father is not. Why is she even classified as Japanese in the first place, shouldn’t she be classified per her father’s race. Just asking.
She's half Asian in terms of race and she is of Japanese nationality. Nothing wrong with saying that she's an Asian.
she is both.
you don’t understand biology or are you pretending to be this dense ?
Technically Sharapova was the first Asian to win a grand slam. She was born and raised in Siberia. But Li is the first East Asian.
@415City No. Western Russia is in Europe.
Technically all grand slm champions are Africans
@@selfissimo There is no GS champion from Africa. LMAO.
Federer half south-african.
@@fujiwarasai5976 Feder is Swiss
I cannot believe the Japanese are going to take credit for Naomi Osaka's success. This is ridiculous. She is an American, raised and taught tennis by AMERICANS. On her Wikipedia page, it literally says her Japanese grandfather disowned them. I don't understand how an individual can be so ostracized in a country and yet still feel such strong ties to it. The Japanese Tennis Federation has done nothing during the early part of her career to promote and foster her success. This is BS and a slap to the coaches who trained her growing up.
Likewise russians should not take credit nor blame for anything related with Sharapova! Lol Since she was raised and taught american tennis and developed american mentality for the most part...
If you feel this upset about Osaka doing it, then Sharapova must give you strokes when you think about it.
Or do you just stroke to Sharapova in general haha
Osaka went there because they paid her more. We already have the best tennis player Serena Williams. By going to Japan Osaka secures the bag as the best in Japan. All the money and ads go straight to her. She might even make more money then Serena.
so you can blame sharapovas mentality on america as she had the same situaiton
Right!
Too bad she had a fallout with her coach and got injured. Otherwise she would have been greater.
Li Na is an Asian Boss.
She is so pretty
Li Na show, show
wow! she so beautiful and sounds very humble.
she and Naomi Osaka will become two of the best chinese players in their country and the world is slowing catching on to the young, phenom champion
Osaka is Japanese, not Chinese! Go and try to tell a Japanese person that he is Chinese and see his reaction! He will probably silently burn Your guts for that..lol For the same reason you should never confuse Croatians with Serbs, Russians with Ukrainians etc...these nationalities hate each other! Just saying...
Summon256 lol true but funny asf
Why do you have to be so racist do you no this person would you like it if it was about you that’s what wrong about this world judgeing people we are all the same don’t matter what don’t judge people it’s hurtful and damaging
Beautiful
First
133rd
In woman tennis field ,india is raising,they could challenge China,go!India I feel positive in Indian woman tennis,they would get better and better
Ken Yup but the weather in India is too hot for tennis
印度都舔，你系咪痴线，怪唔之得南亚裔难民打7你地班香港废物小JJ男人都唔敢反抗
逢中必反，逢外必舔，舔都算啦，印度食屎手你都舔，就为了反中，简直变态扭曲思维
indian winning grand slam? r u serious or even understand how big is grand slam? low class ppl never can compete in tennis for sure
@@krisshu7594 they did in double ,but single
Everyone who knows a bit about tennis can tell both double and mixed are not comparable with single game, the levels of competence are totally unmatched. For instance, only tennis mafia may know bryan brothers won 22 GS champions (double plus mixed) but del potro is more famous worldwide even though he has only one GS title for single's match (US open).
白了，瘦了
So beautiful
Naomi is in her own league ! No comparison here ! Stay in your lane !
Sharapova is the first Asian to win.
Bo Rood Sharapova.... I can't persuade myself
Nope. but nice try.
Whether the eastern part of Russia be considered Asia or Europe depends on the contexts. When a mammoth fossil was found there, maybe we could say it's on Asian continent. But in international sports, Russia is never Asian. And Sharapova's parents are from Belarus. She was even conceived in Belarus. She only spent 3 years in the west edge of Siberia without ever touching a tennis racket before her family moved to Sochi, then to USA when she was 7.
@@talachastu816 Sharapova is Asian.
@@borood1188 Sharapova is not Asian, she's European.
Osaka is HAITIAN and JAPANESE Thus, she is BLACK.
Please, give it a rest. Lets enjoy her amazing skills and wonderful personality. Champ for many years to come.
what makes her more black than asian?
0:54 I'm pretty sure some other female Russians have won Grand Slam's before.
technically and mostly european side
Good thinking. 3 Russians have won Grand slams before. Myskina is European from Moscow, Kuznetsova is European from Saint Petersburg. The only "Asian" is Sharapova who was born in Nyagan.
Russia is regarded as a European country mostly.
Have you seen what the Russians looked like ? Lol they are European, maybe not politically? But they are Europe. If they are west of the Ural Mountains, they are European
@@pyro9818 but siberian people look like Chinese
退役后更美了，性格也温柔了，哈哈哈
I am a college tennis player 5.0. I can beat Li Na 6-0, 6-0. No problem. She might get one game on me if shes lucky.
But she is a champion and you're nobody😏
Maybe in your dream
@@yanzhu5892 doesn't matter, most top club players can beat her with little issue.
@@stickyrice2141 In your dreams maybe.
