Li Na & Ons Jabeur: the First Asian and Arab Women to Win a Grand Slam Title
Li Na is the first Asian tennis player to win a singles Grand Slam event.
The director of China’s tennis program says more athletes should follow Li Na’s lead and break away from the country’s sports system.
In 2008, Li opted out of the state system and set up her own training team.
Ms Li and 3 other players were able to choose their own coaches and decide which matches to play. They also received a much greater share of their winnings.
Will other players follow their lead??
Ons Jabeur is the First Arab Tennis Woman to Win a Grand Slam Title.
Tunisian Ons Jabeur (16 years old) won the Roland Garros tennis juniors girls singles tournament after defeating Puerto Rican Monica Puig 2/0 (7/6 and 6/1).
