Chinese Taipei’s Hsieh Su-Wei played the last singles match of her tennis career when she lost to Hungarian Anna Bondar 7-6(3) 6-4 in the first round of the Australian Open qualifying.
Facing off against a competitor who was merely four years old when Hsieh commenced her professional journey in 2001, the 38-year-old veteran capped off a distinguished singles career. Her legacy includes a collection of three WTA singles titles: triumphs in Hiroshima (2018), Kuala Lumpur, and Guangzhou (both in 2012). Noteworthy among her achievements is a memorable quarterfinal run at the 2021 Australian Open and a career-best singles ranking of No.
