Published May 17, 2019

Su-Wei Hsieh might have nothing on her brother. Cheng-Peng Hsieh did his family's alternatively-styled craft exceedingly well at the Gwangju Open Challenger in South Korea this past week. Witness the cheeky ace patted down on his opponent, Makoto Ochi, in the second game of the third set.

Thus Hsieh won the battle, though not the war. Ochi ultimately won the contest by a 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 score.

Still, somewhere Su-Wei is beaming.
