Chinese tennis ace Li Na has said that she is still loving her 'tennis life' despite elevated expectations and criticisms that her two Grand Slam titles are a fluke.
The world number two booked her fourth-round berth at the Indian Wells hard-court tournament with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Czech Karolina Pliskova.
According to Sport24, Li said people used to say that she was lucky to win the French Open and the Australian Open and that she cannot win anymore now, adding that she does not mind all those criticisms as she still loves 'tennis life'.
Li admitted that she is having to learn how to handle herself now that she is coming into big tournaments as a favorite, adding that it is a different feeling from what she used to expect when she was sixth or seventh-ranked in the world.
