Li Na aims for 3rd Grand Slam title

China's tennis superstar Li Na has set her sights on a third Grand Slam title, she said during the celebration of her -Australian Open victory on -Saturday in Beijing.

Li cast off her previous -moniker "One Slam Wonder" by lifting the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup in Melbourne Park last month, her second Grand Slam title after she claimed victory at Roland -Garros in 2011, making herself the first Asian player to become the world No.2.

"After last year's WTA Championships [when she lost in the final to Serena Williams], my new year plan was to win one more Grand Slam. I was lucky and I've -finished it in the first month of the year," Li told reporters after the ceremony.

"So I hope to advance in the rankings, and even better, to grab another Grand Slam -trophy, but there's no time limit on it."

Li also dismissed claims that she "rebelled" against the State-run sports system.

"Some media may have misunderstood me, I did nothing against the system," Li said.

"I really don't pay much -attention to things I shouldn't care much about [rather than tennis]. After years in the sport, I have gotten used to both -positive and negative reports as they are a part of my job."

After the French Open Li hit a slump in her career, and she said she was "on the edge of -retiring."

"Having experienced a hard time after the French Open, now I really prefer those who can help in hard times rather than those who are just making things better after a success, with the former being much rarer," she revealed.

"People know me as a tennis player, but don't know much about how I live, in this book people can understand that I am more than just a tennis player," Li said on introducing her book, titled My Life.

Once again, Li expressed her gratitude to coach Carlos -Rodrigues.

"I haven't said thanks to -Carlos in Chinese in public, I really appreciate your coming. You saved my marriage," Li said.

Rodrigues replaced -Jiang Shan, Li's husband and -often the butt of Li's jokes, as her coach in July 2012. She indicated that she made the switch to simplify her life.

Li said that the public should not pressure young Chinese tennis players who are not playing first-tier events.

"Every player grows from low-tier events ... With years of development, the circum-stances of tennis have improved a lot, especially for young -players, they can play and learn domestically," Li told the Global Times. "I hope the public does not put pressure on them, so they can do the job they love."
