But talented junior shuns talk of replacing Li Na

China has begun its search for the next Li Na, and one of the juniors with the talent to replace the country's two-time Grand Slam champion might speak better English than she does Chinese.

Xu Shilin, who just turned 17 and goes by the English name Coco, was the first Chinese girl to be No 1 in the world junior rankings and won the gold medal at the Youth Olympic Games last year. She has also told the Chinese media that her goal is to win a Grand Slam title before she's 20.
