This Hsieh, she play that tennis good. Not just regular good, real good. She play that doubles, you know, with a partner. She got number one in the whole world in doubles. Number one! First time was back in 2014, long time ago now.
She play all over the place. Wimbledon, they call it. Fancy name. She won there four times. 2013, 2019, 2021, and 2023. Hard to keep track of all them wins. She also won that French Open, 2014 and 2023. And this year, 2024, she won Australian Open in doubles. That Hsieh Su-wei, she sure know how to win!
She even play by herself, that’s called singles. She good at that too. One time, she was 35 years old, she got real far in that Australian Open. First time a gal from Taiwan ever did that in singles. Big deal, that was.
