Li Na

Li Na made history as the first Asian player to win a Grand Slam singles title, claiming the 2011 French Open and 2014 Australian Open. Holding a career-high ranking of No. 2, she achieved this with a 35.7% conversion rate on her break points—a statistic 8% above the average WTA top-10 player. Outshining #3 Deng Yaping's table-tennis dominance, Li paved the way for global recognition of Chinese tennis.
