Ⅰ. 阅读理解
“I’m at peace with it. I have no regrets. ”Li Na posted this bittersweet statement about her retirement from professional tennis last Friday. During Sunday’s farewell news conference, she wiped tears from her face, revealing just how hard it was for her to come to this decision.
The two-time Grand Slam champion, 32, has not played in a professional tournament since her third-round loss to the Czech Republic’s Barbora Zahlavova Strycova at Wimbledon 2014. In July, Li underwent a fourth surgery on her knee and said she hoped to be back for the Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open, to be held in her hometown, but was unable to recover from her injuries.
It’s certainly the end of an era, or in Swiss tennis legend Martin Hingis’ words, “a sad day for Chinese tennis and for the sport in general”.
The aggressive player has since become one of the region’s biggest stars and the poster girl for the Women’s Tennis Association(WTA). After her win at the 2011 French Open, Li became the first player from Asia to win a Grand Slam singles title. She went on to claim another Grand Slam title at the Australian Open this past January. At the height of her career, she was ranked the world’s No. 2 player behind the US’ Serena Williams.
Despite her tough performance on the court, Li won millions of admirers with her warm and charming personality outside the arena. Her frequent joking in courtside interviews about life with Jiang Shan, 34, her former coach and husband of eight years, helped her become a global icon.
Li’s biggest accomplishment, however, is her contribution to the rise of tennis in China. She’s an inspiration to millions. Just a few years ago, the sport was still in its infancy(初期). In this sense, she’s achieved more in her professional life than most can ever dream.
