For those of you who have been following tennis (or facebook...), you'll notice that many people have been rooting for the beloved Li Na-- China's grand slam towards a big tennis championship.
But what most of you might not know...is that she started with badminton.
Apparently when she was young she took badminton lessons. At the age of 8, her coach noticed that she played more like a tennis player, and suggested that she switch. Funny enough, her mom didn't even know what tennis was...
Needless to say, she would have been a fantastic badminton player! Well, congratulations to her and her climb to the Grand Slam finals!
