Xie Shuwei, who won two women's doubles and mixed doubles championships last year and wrote a 24-year record in the history of the Australian Open, has been paired with Latvia's Ostapenko in women's doubles this year, and the two third seeds in the tournament have already reached two hurdles in a row and advanced to the round of 16 of the Australian Open. On the afternoon of the 17th, Xie Shuwei took a break, and the mixed doubles once again joined hands with the old Polish partner Zielinski, the sixth-seeded pair carried the momentum of winning last year, Melbourne Park debuted like a bamboo in seven consecutive games, and then beat the 18 and 16-year-old local wild card brother and sister H. Jones/E. Jones 6:0, 7:5, and advanced to the round of 16.
Tse and Zielinski worked together last year, winning their second mixed doubles title at Wimbledon at the Australian Open, and now they are teaming up with the southern hemisphere to make it a second in a row.
