Chinese tennis has developed rapidly in recent years, and excellent players such as Li Na and Zhang Shuai have emerged. They have won many honors for China in the World Competition, but objectively speaking, the development level of China's tennis cannot be compared with the advanced level in the world. I hope that our country can strengthen and accelerate talent training in tennis events, and the emergence of players like the six outstanding athletes introduced in this article will drive the overall improvement of the overall level of my country's tennis.
