问题     Li Na
    Li Na made history at the French Open on Saturday when she became the first Chinese player to win a grand slam singles title. Her 6-4, 7-6 victory over last year’s champion, Francesca Schiavone of Italy, was a performance full of maturity, class and guts and when the pressure came late in the second set, she held firm. If this does not spark a new wave of Chinese players in the years to come then probably nothing will.
    An estimated audience of 65 million watched the final on television and online in China but the 29-year-old, who pocketed a cool ￠l. 2m, will have to wait until after Wimbledon before she has time to fly home. "If I don’t do well at Wimbledon maybe people will forget me already," she said. "But if a Chinese player can win a grand slam maybe it proves a lot for Chinese tennis. I believe Chinese tennis will get bigger and bigger. "
    Having reached the final of the Australian Open in January, it looked as if Li’s second opportunity for glory might be slipping away when, leading by a set and 4-2, she became tight. Perhaps it was the pressure of those watching at home, perhaps it was simply the occasion, but as she faltered, Schiavone moved to within two points of forcing it into a decider.
    But as the crowd roared for the Italian, Li showed her mettle and held firm. Twice she held serve to stay in the set and she then played a flawless tie-break to win in 7-0. As a Schiavone backhand drifted over the baseline, a disbelieving Li fell to the clay and put her hands to her face.
    "At 6-0 in the tie-break, I was thinking ’OK, don’t do anything stupid,’ because many times I have had match point and not won the match. " she said. "When I was a young player, I wanted to be a grand slam champion and now I am. Someone said the other day that I’m getting old, so the old woman’s dream has come true. "
    Schiavone, whose victory last year was one of the most remarkable performances in Roland Garros history, embraced her opponent at the net and was equally kind-hearted afterwards. "Today was a really tough day but I have to congratulate Li Na because she’s really grown up this year and she played really well. Enjoy this moment because it’s fantastic. "
    There is no histrionics, no climbing through the stands to greet her family and friends. Instead, Li sat calmly on her chair and let it all sink in. Though three Chinese pairs have tasted grand slam doubles glory before, she is the first to do it in singles. For a country of 1. 3 billion, if only the tiniest fraction of the population pick up a racket rather than play another sport, the future will be bright.
选项
答案 李娜 周六，李娜在法国网球公开赛上创造历史，成为第一位夺得大满贯单打冠军的中国运动员。当日，李娜表现成熟，击球质量上乘且充满胆略，最终以6：4和7：6战胜去年的冠军、意大利选手弗朗西斯卡-斯齐亚沃尼。当第二盘末面临压力时，她稳住了阵脚。没有什么比李娜此次夺冠更能激发中国网坛未来的发展浪潮了。 中国大约有6500万的观众通过电视或网络观看了这次决赛，但这位时年29岁、刚刚将120万欧元收入囊中的体育健将要等到打完了温网比赛后才有时间回国。她说：“如果我在温网比赛中发挥得不好，人们可能马上就会忘记我。但是如果有一位中国选手能赢得大满贯，这或许能够证明中国网坛的实力。我相信中国网坛会越来越壮大。” 李娜今年1月进入澳网决赛，在赢得首盘且第二盘4：2领先后，她开始变得有些紧张，似乎就要错失第二次捧得大满贯的机会。可能是来自国内观众的压力，也有可能仅仅是偶然，但当她失误后，斯齐亚沃尼连拿两分，将比赛逼入了决胜局。 但就算观众们嘶吼着在为意大利选手加油，李娜仍然显示出了足够的勇气，稳住了阵脚。她两次守住了发球局，在抢七中的表现完美，最终以7：0拿下比赛。当斯齐亚沃尼反拍回球出底线时，李娜简直不敢相信，双手覆面躺倒在红土赛场上。 李娜说：“在抢七打到6：0时，我就想着‘好家伙，千万别做什么傻事’，因为许多次我虽然拿到了赛点最终却没有赢得比赛。当我还是个年轻运动员的时候，我就想成为大满贯冠军，现在我终于做到了。之前有人说我已经老了，现在我这个老女人的梦想终于实现了。” 斯齐亚沃尼去年夺冠的比赛是罗兰加洛斯球场历史上最精彩的比赛之一。赛前她在网前拥抱了李娜，赛后也同样友善。她说：“今天确实打得非常艰难，但我还是得祝贺李娜，她在这一年中确实成长了许多，表现也非常出色。尽情享受这一刻吧，太美妙了。” 没有装腔作势，没有翻过看台区向家人朋友致意，李娜只是平静地坐在椅子上，消化所有的这一切。虽然之前有三对中国选手赢得过大满贯双打冠军，但她是第一个拿到大满贯单打冠军的人。对于一个有13亿人口的国家而言，只要有很小的一部分人能够放弃其他运动，拿起网球拍，中国网坛的未来将无比光明。
