Zheng focused on results, not rankings

China's current women's tennis No 1 has said she is in no hurry to eclipse her compatriot's record world ranking, fearing it could distract her attention a second time.

Zheng Jie, who just lost to world No 1 Serena Williams in a three-set tussle on Monday in the fourth-round at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, managed to hang onto her No-17 ranking, a single spot lower than Li Na in Jan 2007.

Many Chinese fans believe the 26-year-old Sichuan native has a dream chance to break Li's record in the coming pre-French Open clay court tournaments, given her past consistent performances on the orange surface.
