Celebrations for Li Na's historic win for China at the French Open have been put on hold as she turns her focus on winning back-to back Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon next month.

The 29-year-old, who became the first Asian to win a Grand Slam singles title, won't be heading home to soak up the adulation from her army of fans, but will instead make the short journey over the English Channel to London.

"The biggest thing right now after the French is Wimbledon (in two weeks), so I don't have time to go back to China now. I'll go back after Wimbledon. If I don't do well in Wimbledon, maybe people forget me already," said Li.
