On the 21st local time, Chinese Taipei's first sister Xie Shuwei and Latvian star Ostapenko overthrew Ukraine's Kostyuk/Romanian Ruse in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Australian Open women's doubles 6:2, 5:7, 7:5 and reached the semifinals. This is also the fourth time in Xie Shuwei's career that she has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open women's doubles.

Chinese Taipei's first sister Xie Shuwei

Hsieh won the Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles titles last year, setting a 24-year record in the history of the Australian Open, and this time her Women's Doubles partner switched from Belgium's Mertens to Ostapenko, who has a good baseline match, and both of them won the first three rounds in straight sets.

In this game, Xie Shuwei showed a good hand in the opening match, especially in front of the net, always waiting for opportunities to shoot points, and a lucky ball to wipe the net, which made the opponent sigh at the ball, and she and Ostapenko relied on three breaks in the first set to win the first 6:2.

In the second set, the two sides went through a battle-to-break battle, but Xie Shuwei/Ostapenko lost the 11th game at the crucial moment and conceded 5-7. Entering the third set, the two groups each had one break, and at the last 6:5, Xie Shuwei completed the key break and won 7:5 to receive the women's doubles semi-finals.

The pair will face second seeds in the Women's Doubles semi-finals at the Australian Open, Canada's Dabroski and New Zealand's Lolife.
