Where are the Chinese tennis Players?

You know I'm really surprised to not see more Chinese tennis players amongst the world's best. The Chinese, are a huge forced to be reckoned with in Badminton and Ping Pong, yet when it comes to tennis, they are no where to be found, (Li Na, of course being the exception.) Maybe it's because of their smaller stature or perhaps the Chinese just aren't all that interested in tennis but I still believe it's just a matter of time until that country starts turning out top level tennis players who will break into the top 20, then 10 and maybe one of them will even be able to claim the number one position in the world.

Check out these videos down here and you'll see the unbelievable athleticism of these players





I don't know about you but I can totally see a future Asian player, who will dominate the sport in the same way that Roger Federer is doing right now. Ping Pong and Baminton are much different than tennis but there are some similarities. Fast hands, great agility, and speed are required for both sports and from what I'm seeing in these videos, the top Chinese players are loaded with it.

So what's been holding them back until now?:/
