Zheng Qinwen becomes second Chinese tennis player ever to reach a Grand Slam final


Zheng Qinwen has added her name to history, becoming just the second Chinese tennis player ever to reach a Grand Slam final.

The 21-year-old joined Li Na on the very exclusive list after defeating Ukrainian qualifier Dayana Yastremska, 6-4, 6-4, to reach the final of the Australian Open on Thursday night.

Li reached four Grand Slam finals in her career, winning two titles at Roland Garros in 2011 and the Australian Open in 2014. She also made another two Australian Open finals, in 2011 (finishing runner-up to Kim Clijsters) and 2013 (falling to Victoria Azarenka).
