Low expectations for Chinese

BEIJING - Four months ago, Li Na and Zheng Jie created Chinese tennis history by advancing to the semifinals at the Australian Open.

That major breakthrough has now led to great expectations and Chinese eyes are now focused expectantly on the clay courts of Roland Garros.

Fans can't help wondering if this year's French Open be the third Grand Slam, after Wimbledon and the Australian Open, to see a Chinese semifinalist or even be the first one to witness a finalist from this country.
