Chinese top seed Li Na has overcome against American Christina McHale in three sets with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 and hopes to continue similar form throughout French Open. In 2011 French Open, Li Na has become the first tennis player from an Asian country to enter into a Grand Slam championship final.

She needs to play high-level tennis to reach into French Open quarter finals.
