Give young right to choose: Li

China's tennis ace and former Wimbledon quarterfinalist Li Na has called on national sports administrators to give young players more "right to choose".

"Just give them the right to choose," Li told China Daily before traveling to Germany to prepare for China's Fed Cup tie and the ensuing clay-court season.

"If I had an opportunity to choose what I wanted to do in childhood, I wouldn't go for tennis. It is a sport that I was always pushed to do, first by my parents, then provincial and national sports administrators."
