[edit] Career

[edit] 2006–2007

In 2006, Hsieh entered Wimbledon for the first time and lost in the first round in both Ladies' Singles and Ladies' Doubles. The following year, she entered Wimbledon again, losing in the first round in both Ladies' Singles and Ladies' Doubles.

[edit] 2008

Su-Wei Hsieh started 2008 by winning three matches to qualify for the Australian Open, where she won her first ever main draw Grand Slam match defeating Klára Zakopalová in three sets. In the second round, she beat the No.19 seed Sybille Bammer 6-2 6-0, and defeated Aravane Rezaï in the third round to become first Chinese Taipei player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam. She then lost in the fourth round to the World No.1, and No.1 seed Justine Henin in straight sets. The result would lift her into the Top 100 for the first time.

In March, Hsieh played at Indian Wells, losing in the first round to Elena Vesnina in three sets. A week later, she lost again, this time in the first round of qualifying, to Tatiana Poutchek in Miami. These two defeats saw her ranking fall to 116.

At the end of April, Hsieh entered the ITF tournament in Incheon as the first seed, and won the tournament, defeating Chinese player Yanze Xie in the final 7-5 6-7 6-4. As a result of this win, Hsieh's ranking rose to 99.

In June 2008, Hsieh had her best Wimbledon Ladies' Singles result by making it to the second round and losing to number 9 seed Dinara Safina of Russia, 6-3, 6-2. She beat Stephanie Cohen-Aloro of France 6-3, 6-2 in the first round. It was Hsieh's third Wimbledon appearance.

[edit] 2009

In January at the Australian Open, unseeded Hsieh lost to unseeded countrywoman Chan Yung-jan, 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of women's singles. In women's doubles, she partnered with Peng Shuai of China and as the number 16 seeds defeated the number two seeds Anabel Medina Garrigues and Virginia Ruano Pascual of Spain in the third round and made it to the quarterfinals before losing to the eventual champions, tenth-seeded Serena Williams and Venus Williams of the USA, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.
