Revolutionary Chinese tennis star Li Na has claimed that she is enjoying the life after retirement from tennis, saying that she can sleep until she wakes up natural.

Na said that to sleep until natural wakeup has been a dream for her. She was forced to retire because of knee injuries after winning her second Grand Slam title - the Australian Open in 2014.

Na had revealed last April that she did not sleep well for long, adding that she really hopes that she can sleep until she wakes up natural when she doesn't have any matches and trainings, China Daily reported.

Na said that her life now without tennis is different, but added that she doesn't think she can live without tennis, as it's been part of her life.

But Na, who became the first Chinese to win the Grand Slam title when she won the French Open in 2011, also said that it is unimaginable at the moment to think of a comeback to professional tennis.
