REUTERS: China will likely produce another Grand Slam women's champion in the next decade, predicts Li Na, the only player from her nation to taste victory in any of tennis's four biggest tournaments.

Until Japan's Naomi Osaka won last year's U.S. Open, Li was the only Grand Slam winner from Asia, male or female, and she will be the first inducted into the Hall of Fame.China has four women ranked in the world's top 100 but no men in the top 200."I think the women's side is much easier because after I won the Grand Slam, young girls think they can do the same," she said."For the men's, it's a little bit tough.
