I've enjoyed watching the progress of Li and Zheng down here in Oz. Although both are capable of winning a grand slam (Li in particular), neither has much time in the tennis scheme of things in which to achieve it. For this reason I think the first Chinese winner of a grand slam is out there somewhere, but not yet a household name. When they emerge, they will make the adulation poured on Yao Ming seem like the fan base of a provincial chess player. Good post.
