中国网球传奇李娜将入选国际网球名人堂。李娜是首位获得这一网球界至高荣誉的亚洲球员。
Chinese tennis legend Li Na will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Li is the first Asian player to receive the sport's ultimate honor.
国际网球名人堂在近日的澳大利亚网球公开赛上公布了2019年的入选名单，李娜、玛丽·皮尔斯以及卡费尔尼科夫成功入选。
She was joined by Mary Pierce and Yevgeny Kafelnikov for the hall's Class of 2019, which was announced at the Australian Open.
李娜2014年因膝伤复发宣布退役，而8个月前她刚刚获得当年的澳网冠军，在世界网球协会的排名中升至第二位，这是其职业生涯中的最高排名。
Li retired in 2014 because of recurring knee injuries, eight months after winning that year's Australian Open and rising to a career-high second in the WTA ranking.
李娜首次获得大满贯冠军是在2011年的法国网球公开赛上，当时她连续击败四名世界排名前10位的对手，最终捧杯。
Her first Grand Slam trophy came at the 2011 French Open, where she defeated four top-10 opponents along the way.
这些球场上的成就，加上李娜的人格魅力，激发了中国国内对网球的兴趣。
Those on-court achievements, along with Li's engaging personality, helped spur interest in tennis at home in China.
李娜在一份声明中表示：“我非常高兴地看到这项运动在中国的发展,也很自豪能成为这段历史的一部分。”
"I have loved seeing the sport grow in China," Li said in a statement, "and I'm proud to be part of that history."
入驻名人堂的仪式将于7月20日在罗德岛举行。
The formal induction ceremony will be held July 20 in Rhode Island.
