LI Na has her sights set on the women's tennis top ranking, just weeks after becoming the first Chinese player ever to enter the top 10.
Li, in Kuala Lumpur for this week's US$250,000 Malaysian Open, said her main goal has always been the world No. 1 spot.
"Every player wants to be No. 1 in the world and it is no different with me. This is my goal and I need to work harder and be more aggressive on the court and start believing more in myself," said Li, who turns 28 on Saturday.
Li earned the No. 10 WTA ranking after reaching the Australian Open semifinals last month. She opens her Malaysian campaign as the No. 2 seed against Germany's Tatjana Malek today.
Li said she has recovered from a back injury she suffered at the Dubai Open last week.
"I have been seeing the doctor and physiotherapists here in Kuala Lumpur and I feel fine now. These courts are great, and although I'm seeded second, I hope to win this tournament," she said.
Russia's Elena Dementieva is the top seed. She will look to continue with her form after successful title runs at Sydney in January and Paris this month.
