WTA ATP Aus Open 1/17 - 1/30 2022

[ponchi101]

Yes. I could understand the split with Aryna as she wanted to concentrate more on singles. But Hsieh really can't claim that, so this is odd. They looked like they were having fun on court.

[ashkor87]

hard to imagine Hsieh wouldnt want to play doubles.. puzzling..

Right, very strange. I want to know what’s up. Wonder why they broke up as a team, too. They like each other a lot and were doing so well.

Just goes to show we know very little about players' personal lives, best not to even go there..

[ashkor87]

Kudermetova was Vesnina's partner lately, this time Vesnina isn't playing..maybe it is just that Mertens prefers Kudermetova..who knows?!

[ashkor87]

In a way Hsieh is the exact opposite of Mertens' previous partner, Sabakenka..in playing style..
Nice to see Gauff and McNally back together, McNally is really one of the best volleyers on the tour today...

Exactly, who knows. Could be any number of circumstances. And I’d like to know the reason.

This is just me speculating but it must be very unsettling to be Hsieh's partner, not having any clue what she is going to do.. unpredictable is good but ...

Thiem out. Wrist is not ready.

[JazzNU]

hard to imagine Hsieh wouldnt want to play doubles.. puzzling..

Right, very strange. I want to know what’s up. Wonder why they broke up as a team, too. They like each other a lot and were doing so well.

So I'll offer a counterpoint to this, though I agree Hsieh not being entered into Doubles is definitely strange. But the split with Mertens to me, not necessarily that odd.

What I've found truly strange over the last year was the adoration given to Mertens and Hsieh as a doubles team, over and above just their success on court. Elise essentially stole things that Aryna came up with for them as a team and was doing them with Hsieh and tennis media acted as if they were an original thing for Mertens and Hsieh and went wild for them, giving them more coverage than any other doubles team from what I saw. They seemed to want some darling Doubles story and these two became it. They've been acting as if Elise and Aryna were not a highly successful doubles team, and as if Hsieh was not coming off a long-term successful partnership with Strycova. The framing of the entire thing was very odd.

Now Thiem is out of the AO..sad...not that he was a big threat but still..

True, Mertens and Hsieh have just started playing together, so splitting is not that odd..I am surprised at Hsieh not being in the draw ar all, that is all .
