On China's social media platform San Weibo, Li Na has over 22 million fans. To put that into perspective, that's more than the Twitter followers of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka combined.
Last year, Li was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. She was one of only four athletes on the entire list, and she was one of only seven selected for individual covers.
