Career

赛场生涯

Li Na is known for being a rebel-on the court and off. The 30-year-old from the central province of Hubei became the first Asian-born tennis player to win a singles Grand Slam championship in 2011 and will be China's wealthiest tennis star to hit the Olympic courts.

李娜以性格叛逆闻名，不论是在场内还是在场外。30岁的李娜来自中国中部省份湖北，在2011年成为第一位赢得大满贯(Grand Slam)单打冠军的亚洲网球选手，在参加奥运会的中国网球明星中，她是最富有的一位。

Ms. Li defied her country's state-run sports program, which forced her to hand over 65% of her winnings, in 2008, when she left the Soviet-style program to start her own team, find her own sponsors, and pocket her own earnings.

李娜在2008年脱离了要求她上交逾65%奖金的国家队，成立了自己的团队，自己寻找赞助商，并将奖金悉数纳入自己的口袋。

Companies such as Nike, Visa, and Haagen-Daaz, have been showering Ms. Li with endorsement deals, making her one of the highest-paid female athletes, according to data compiled by Forbes magazine.

耐克(Nike)、Visa和哈根达斯(Haagen-Daaz)跟李娜签下不少代言协议。据《福布斯》(Forbs)杂志编制的数据，这使她成了收入最高的女性运动员之一。

At her last Olympic showing during the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, Ms. Li lost a match that would have won her a bronze medal. She will try again in London, an event which many believe will be her last Olympics and final shot at taking home a medal.

2008年北京夏季奥运会期间，也是李娜最近一次出现在奥运赛场的时候，她输掉了一场本可使她获得铜牌的比赛。伦敦奥运会期间她会再次上场，很多人相信这将是她最后一次参加奥运会，也是她争夺奖牌的最后一搏。
