Li Na is disappointed that Chinese tennis has not moved on more since her retirement.
As the country's fruitless search for a new champion continues, Li's two Grand Slam titles continues to be the gauge for her compatriots, who have labored in vain to match her trail-blazing achievements.
The contrast was laid bare at last week's Wuhan Open, where Li received a rock star's welcome during a brief appearance, while none of the Chinese players advanced beyond the third round.
