Meanwhile Hsieh and Ostapenko, being like chalk and cheese, have moulded themselves into a deadly team. They strike a perfect balance between the fierce power and tamed unassuming accuracy. While Ostapenko earned her first Grand Slam success at the US Open last year, doubles veteran Hsieh has won 4 out her 7 women’s doubles majors at Wimbledon. She is also a two-time Grand Slam champion in mixed doubles.
