Ma urged to divorce wife quickly to save career

When Tiger Woods messed up his personal life he decided to take indefinite leave from golf in an attempt to save his marriage.

However, that is not the case with former men's singles table tennis world No 1 Ma Lin who has been asked by his coach, Liu Guoliang, to end his marriage to save his career.

Wherever China's three-time Olympic champion shows up these days he is besieged by media inquiring about when he will divorce his little-known actress wife Zhang Ningyi (previously known as Zhang Yi).
