Zheng was born in Chengdu, Sichuan in July, 1983 and donated her winnings from Wimbledon to the Sichuan earthquake relief—fund (救济金).

　　She followed up her Wimbledon performance with a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympic Games.

　　“To me the Olympics is a wonderful memory of my career path. When I watched the five-star flag rising up in my own country, it’s hard to describe or express the feelings of pride with words,” she said. Zheng’s singles displays in 2008 represented new progress in her career and reminded the world of the potential of Chinese tennis.

　　Zheng’s parents didn’t play tennis themselves but encouraged her to take up the sport just to stay fit, but Zheng became lost in the game.

　　In fact, Zheng was often overlooked by her coaches. She said, “Actually I played really well, but just because I wasn’t taller or stronger than others, the coaches didn’t think I was fit for tennis. But I really like playing tennis. If you say I can’t make it, I’ll prove it to you that I can.”

　　Now Zheng Jie has become the top of Asian tennis. She may prove to be the first of many Chinese players to make a great impact in the tennis world in the years to come.

　　53. According to the first two paragraphs, Zheng Jie ______.

　　A. is the first Chinese player to join in an international tennis competition

　　B. got a bronze prize at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in July 2008
