Chinese Taipei star Hsieh Shuwei, who has just celebrated her 38th birthday, personally demonstrated to everyone at this year's Australian Open.
Not long after the start of the new year, Xie Shuwei suddenly announced before her 38th birthday that she would end her singles career at the Australian Open, specializing in doubles. When they saw this little essay at that time, many people thought of Xie Shuwei's difficult and brilliant tennis career, and thought that giving up singles might mean that the famous player's career would end soon, and their hearts were slightly sad.
Especially after seeing Xie Shuwei's singles career end at the end of the first round of qualifying, she signed up for the women's doubles and mixed doubles of this Australian Open, many people think that Xie Shuwei may want to test the waters at the age of 38 to see if the women's doubles and mixed doubles can support each other to achieve satisfactory results.
Seeing Xie Shuwei's thin figure active in both doubles and mixed doubles, thinking that she is still fighting like this at the age of 38, makes people feel very sorry for this Chinese girl.
I don't know if God doesn't want Xie Shuwei to just end her singles career and suffer setbacks in women's doubles and mixed doubles, hoping that her agile figure can stay in the arena for a longer time, and it seems that luck has begun to favor Xie Shuwei. Hsieh Shuwei did not live up to the love given to her, and reached the semifinals of the Australian Open in the women's doubles and mixed doubles, which made public opinion begin to focus more on the Chinese Taipei girl.
In the semi-finals, Xie Shuwei partnered Mertens to compete with Hunter and Siniakova for tickets to the final, and this women's doubles showdown attracted the attention of many domestic fans and netizens.
Especially when they saw that Xie Shuwei and Mertens were almost overwhelmed by their opponents in the first set and quickly fell behind 0-4, many people thought that this set might soon end with Xie Shuwei and Mertens losing miserably. Unexpectedly, the two of them suddenly woke up, and while fighting back, they finally achieved a shocking reversal of 7-5, which was a big shock.
Seeing the Xie Mei pair go from a sluggish state to a brave and enter the second set of the contest made everyone more confident that they could win this match and reach the final in one fell swoop.
Surprisingly, the match script was really full of too much tension, and instead of winning the opponent combination in one fell swoop, the opponent team came out of the shadow of the first set defeat and gave the Xie Mei combination a fritter in a surprising way, which made people worry about Xie Shuwei and Mertens again. Especially seeing that there seemed to be a problem with the physical fitness of the two people in the second set, this worry reached the extreme.
I thought that the strong performance of the opponent combination in the second set would bring more pressure and trouble to the Xie Mei combination, but I didn't expect that the direction of the script at this time was incomprehensible.
Hunt and Siniakova's performance in the third set was simply shocking, giving people a feeling of not being able to move at all, but the combination of Shemei, who was the most worried, made people completely let go of their hearts. As the suspense of the match has been lost, the Xie Mei combination did not live up to everyone's expectations, ending the match 6-3, following the 2021 Wimbledon joint final, the Australian Open for the first time in three years to advance to the final.
Seeing Xie Shuwei reach the final of the Australian Open doubles for the second time, many people immediately sent the warmest applause to the 38-year-old veteran, bluntly saying that all this came too fast, and it was even more incredible.
How remarkable is Xie Shuwei, who only made a comeback last year? She won back-to-back titles at the French Open and Wimbledon, and reached the semifinals even though she failed to achieve three consecutive wins at the US Open. Now that he has reached the final of the Australian Open doubles for the first Grand Slam of the new season, such a brilliant record is really a god-level performance. So much so that some people compared Xie Shuwei with the queen Xiao Wei, who came back after giving birth to a daughter, and humorously said that this comeback performance was really enough to crush Xiao Wei. Although this is just a joke, many people also know that there is a great difference between singles and doubles, and the other party still says so, which shows how much they recognize Xie Shuwei's performance in the doubles arena.
In addition to reaching the women's doubles final, Xie Shuwei also partnered with Zelinsky in the mixed doubles final. One person reached the finals of two events at the Australian Open at the same time, Xie Shuwei was disappointed in the singles qualifying tournament this year, and now the doubles event is in full bloom, and she really used her breath to let herself win in the doubles event.
If the whirlwind caused by Xie Shuwei at the Australian Open made domestic fans and netizens so happy, then now with Zheng Qinwen also reaching the singles final, there is no doubt that a super Chinese hurricane has been raised over Melbourne Park, which has completely turned everyone upside down. Now everyone wants to know the huge surprise that Xie Shuwei and Zheng Qinwen have teamed up to bring to Chinese fans and netizens, when all three finals are over, and finally Chinese tennis can win several championships.
In the mixed doubles final that has ended, Xie Shuwei and her partner lived up to expectations, and finally won the first championship in a reversal, winning a good start for Chinese tennis on the final day.
