Li Na wins first Grand Slam for China

The Chinese, Li Na, made history on Saturday by beating defending champion Francesca Schiavone in the final of the French open at Roland Garros. 

Despite the occasion, Na put on a great performance, outplaying her opponent in straight sets, 6-4 7-6. 

She becomes the first Chinese player to win a Grand Slam in over one hundred years of tennis history. Those back home who had stayed up late into the night to watch the match celebrated their heroine's remarkable feat.
