Hsieh won the Australian Open Women's Doubles title for the first time last year with Mertens (Belgium), and then was defeated twice by Townsend/Siniakova in the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Championship and the WTA year-end tournament in Riyadh. Now Xie Shuwei's comrades-in-arms have been replaced by Ostapenko, with a feminine and masculine high-contrast play, and once again reached the final of Melbourne Park. Although she failed to defeat the "Metrojet Rival", the first sister of Chinese Taipei joined hands with the 5th different partner in her career to reach the Grand Slam women's doubles finals 9 times, and still polished the "Wild Diva" signboard again.

Xie Shuwei/Ostapenko shared the Australian Open runner-up prize of 440,000 Australian Open, and there was an unexpected episode after the match when the wrong medal was awarded. It's a bit of a pity, so let's look forward to the next time. The witty words amused the audience, and Xie Shuwei also posted a Facebook post to thank the fans: "I just made a pair with the plates at home from previous years, and I can take them out when I have a candlelight dinner with my partner in the future." She has won seven Grand Slam women's doubles titles and two women's doubles runners-up.

Ostapenko is Xie Shuwei's defeat in the women's doubles final of the Australian Open last year, this year the two turned enemies into friends, after the first defeat in the Adelaide warm-up, and then moved to Melbourne to break through 5 levels in a row, and the tacit understanding on the spot is gradually getting better, although they failed to win the championship, the two are expected to continue to work together to achieve good results, "Thank you Shuwei and my partner, this is only the second tournament we have participated in, I hope we will play better in the future." ”
