China's Li to donate all from Madrid

BEIJING - China's No 1 tennis player, Li Na, has promised to donate all the prizemoney she wins at the WTA Mutua Madrilena Madrid Masters, which served off on Monday, to earthquake-hit Yushu County in northwest China's Qinghai province.

Li said she was at her training base in Munich when she heard about the 7.1-magnitude earthquake, which occurred on April 14 and killed at least 2,200 people and left more than 100,000 homeless.

"I was in Germany when the disaster happened in Yushu, so I could do nothing at that time. So, I decided to donate the money I earn in Madrid. I hope it can help some of the people reconstruct their homes," the 28-year-old said. "It would be great if I win the tournament, then I can donate a lot. Anyway, I will try my best. "
