Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-wei and her partner Jan Zielinski of Poland won the mixed doubles title at The Championships Wimbledon July 14 in London, continuing Hsieh’s stellar performance in global tennis, according to the Ministry of Education.
In the 76-minute finals against Giuliana Olmos and Santiago Gonzalez from Mexico, Hsieh and Zielinski won the first three games in the first set, and despite their opponents’ best efforts, the duo ultimately triumphed with two straight wins 6-4 and 6-2.
Upon hearing the good news, President Lai Ching-te sent a congratulatory message to Hsieh in which he lauded the pair’s outstanding performance and encouraged Hsieh to keep making her country proud, the MOE said.
The 38-year-old will team with 20-year-old Tsao Chia-yi to represent Taiwan at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games women’s doubles, set to start July 26 in Paris.
This is Hsieh’s second Grand Slam mixed doubles title, following her win, also with Zielinski, at the Australian Open earlier this year. She won the women’s doubles titles at the Australian Open this year, the French Open in 2023 and 2014, and Wimbledon in 2023, 2021, 2019 and 2013. (SFC-E)
