Li Na Becomes First Chinese Singles to Win Grand Slam Title

After reaching her first grand slam final at the Australian Open earlier this year, Chinese player Li Na managed to win her first grand slam at the French Open on Saturday, the first ever Chinese singles tennis player to do so at any grand slam!

She beat  last year's champion Francesca Schiavone (who incidentally was the first Italian to win a women's singles grand slam title) 6-4, 7-6.
