2011's #5 Player: Li Na
Li Na opened wide the doors this year for Asian women's tennis, as she became the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam, when she won the French Open title this year. I admit I too was surprised by her victory, but you could really see that she wanted to win, as she had an answer to all of defending champion, Francesca Schiavone's game! Her runner up finish at the Australian Open was already an indication that she really wanted a Grand Slam title!
Well, all eyes will be focused on her on 2012 since the first Grand Slam of the year happens in Australia! I'm sure she'll do well, the big question is, will she hold up under all that new found scrutiny? Will she go a step further and actually add an Australian Open title to her roster of titles?
