A new match is just beginning for Chinese tennis star Li Na. Today, the two-time Grand Slam champion was enrolled into a two-year program for senior management executives at the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB), reflecting the school's innovative "top of the pyramid" approach to education.
"As a retired athlete who has been in the tennis industry for many years, I hope to pursue a wide range of business interests in my second career," said Li Na. "I also hope to become a more thoughtful person at CKGSB, so as to make more sensible and effective financial, managerial and business decisions. I will be looking to develop on many levels, and making many new friends while undertaking the rigorous studies will also help to create more opportunities for the future."
Known as the "pride of China" by virtue of her ability to endure hardship and never admit defeat in her quest to become Asia's first Grand Slam singles winner, Li Na has transferred that passion and enthusiasm to the worlds of business and philanthropy since retiring from the game of tennis. Having played one game, she is now coming to CKGSB in the hope of taking herself to the next level in a different arena.
