Doubles delight in Paris for cross-Strait duo
China DailyWang Xinyu of the Chinese mainland and Hsieh Su-wei of Chinese Taipei kiss the trophy as they celebrate winning the French Open women's doubles title at Roland Garros on Sunday. Although playing in just their second tournament together following a "snap decision" to team up, the cross-Strait duo of the Chinese mainland's Wang and Hsieh Su-wei of Chinese Taipei proved a winning combination in the French Open women's doubles competition. Wang, a 21-year-old native of Guangdong province, became the fifth Chinese mainland player to win a doubles trophy on the Grand Slam stage, while Hsieh bagged her fifth major doubles title and her second at Roland Garros nine years after her first triumph in 2014. "Sometimes in doubles, you get faster balls back because they always come in on your return," said Wang, who is currently ranked 64th in the singles and 26th in doubles.
