Unseeded Hsieh's dream run continues
Friday, 18 January, 2008
By Catherine Sneddon
Su-Wei Hsieh of Chinese Taipei has fought her way through to the fourth round
on Friday afternoon with a tough 6-2 6-7(3) 6-4 win over Frenchwoman Aravane
Rezai.
Hsieh and Rezai scored upset wins over Sybille Bammer (19) and Tatiana
Golovin (13) respectively in the previous round, so both came into this
third-round match in top form.
Hsieh found her rhythm immediately, gaining an early double break to lead 4-0.
Rezai's inconsistent serving and impatience let her down in the first set as
Hsieh chased down every ball and frustrated the big-hitting Rezai. Hsieh won
the first set in just 29 minutes.
The trend continued in the second set with Hsieh gaining an early break to
lead 2-0. This time, however, Rezai responded immediately, breaking back to
level at 2-all.
Numerous unforced errors and a lapse in concentration from Rezai, saw Hsieh
race away to a 5-2 lead and serve for the match. Hsieh could not close out
the match though when Rezai picked up her game and found the lines. Rezai
broke twice to take the second set to a tie-break, which she convincingly won
7-3.
Both girls traded service games early in the final set, before Rezai's
unforced-error count entered into double figures and allowed Hsieh another
5-2 lead. Although she pulled one break back, Rezai could not stop Hsieh from
winning the encounter with her sixth match point.
Hsieh's gutsy victory sets up a daunting fourth-round clash with the No.1
seed and 2004 Australian Open champion Justine Henin.
