大满贯冠军一路走来不易。荣耀的背后是超乎常人的努力和付出。

本书讲述李娜30年的人生故事。与众不同的成才之路、跌宕起伏的赛场传奇、不离不弃的爱情誓言、以及那些不为人知的酸甜苦辣。当然，还有李娜站在巅峰之上的人生感悟。

你看到过赛场上奋力争抢的李娜，你看到过采访时谈笑自如的李娜，你看到过广告里笑颜如花的李娜……

很真诚朴实的文字，喜欢。
李娜没有对她的胜利着墨很多，反而写了很多负面的情绪、压力，但我反而从中得到激励与力量。

Nothing quite like a player's own take on their tennis career. Li Na's humour and personality was seen in on court interviews; comes through the pages too.

As an American, I enjoyed reading about her life growing up in China.

Some interesting parts about her early tennis training in China from when she was 8 years old. Good if you like tennis

The feelings I have towards tennis are very contradictory. It took fifteen years for me to learn to love the sport. But life is full of contradictions: I don't like flowers because their life is too short, but I really admire the beauty of plum blossoms in the winter.

Memoirs aren't really my thing, but in light of Li Na's recent (unsurprising but upsetting) retirement, this seemed necessary for my ~grieving process. She has a very interesting championship narrative, and is one of the most important players of this era (...IMO), and I still feel hollowed out at the idea of her absence next season.

I think this memoir was first published in Chinese, and then translated to English, and it shows, in a pleasant/familiar way. It's probably not the best written memoir, but a fair amount of it was personally relatable to me and I loved reading about her relationship with her husband/coach Jiang Shan, whom she's apparently known since she was 12.

This book was published on December 2013. For a more updated epilogue, you can go read her official retirement letter (which I recommend reading, regardless of your feelings for tennis or Li Na because it's so genuine and heartbreakingly inspiring; I lost it early on, when she described her knee brace as her tennis birthmark), best chased with a full-volume rewatch of the Australian Open 2014 women's singles' awards ceremony (which is still my happy place).

Like Na's autobiography

I had no idea Li Na has been under so much pressure. Like reading Agassi's Open was how I felt reading this book. Like Na talks often about how "they said negative things about her. I am a huge fan of tennis and of Li Na and I have never thought bad things about her. I also do not know anyone who thought poorly of her. I gave this book a 3/5 as I felt was too introspective with not enough detail of the tournament at the French Open that she won in 2011.

I really enjoyed this bio about Li Na. She tells her story in a very genuine way and gives insights into her life from a young girl living in China with their rules and ways of life. Her relationship with her now husband is remarkable and they seem to make a great team. She has had her injuries and setbacks but is to be admired as the first woman tennis player from China.

最動人是李娜寫自己的成長經過，與及職業球手難以為外人道的種種壓力。

「對我來說，勝利帶給我最好的禮物是內心的平靜—我不必在比賽後用毛巾蒙住臉，躲在更衣室或是浴室裡失聲痛哭，不必再為失誤痛恨自己，不必反復折磨自己。我知道我的表現及格了，我內心的“裁判”這次會放過我。」

相信將此書與andre agassi的自傳open比較閱讀，該會有更深得著。

Very enjoyable reading learning about Li Na learning tennis as a youngster then joining the National team, and eventually going solo.

not one of the better tennis memoirs

[Miao · Rating 2 out of 5]

李娜的故事不错，书写得一般

[Aj Wu · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this is one sitting on a flight back to the United States from Hong Kong. An enjoyable read. I am sorry that Li Na has retired. She is a champion.

[Letty · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting book about Li Na's tennis life. Not very detailed about the tennis tour, her family, or friends. It's a generalized emotional coming to terms of Li Na's tennis career.

[Ellie Man · Rating 3 out of 5]

当然，李娜是位运动员，不是作家，文字嘛，我用“通俗易懂”来形容吧。 不过了解和八卦一下我们的巨星也是不错的。看到了很多新闻报道背后真实的故事。ps.我爱网球！

[Patrick · Rating 3 out of 5]

很朴实的一本传记，简简单单记录自己场内场外的百般心态。国内不仅在培养运动员体制上存在差异，运动员本身自我传记的撰写也并未得到很多关注。2015.08.20 读毕于HK MTR

If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
