[Special Correspondent Nian Miaoyun/Reporting from Nagoya] Taiwan’s number one tennis star Hsieh Shu-wei teamed up with Liang Enshuo in the top 8 of women’s doubles at the Asian Games in Nagoya today to defeat Japan’s Momoko Kobori/Ayano Shimizu and successfully entered the top four. She is sure to have a medal in her bag. After the game, Xiao Wei shared her feelings about competing in the Asian Games again after 12 years. She said that because Nagoya is a place of great significance to her and her father had brought her there before, she decided to compete again.

Xie Shuwei partnered with Liang Enshuo this time. Xiaowei said that although she and Liang Enshuo had played together before, it had been a while, "so usually the first game is relatively unfamiliar and needs to be adapted." She pointed out that the two sides continued to adjust and run in on the court to find tactics that suited each other, and in the third set they successfully showed their own style of play.

Liang Enshuo said that in the first game, the main thing in the back row was to hit the ball well, leaving the front row to Xie Suwei. The two performed their respective duties and cooperated very smoothly. She also mentioned that Xie Suwei constantly encouraged her during the game. Interestingly, Xiao Wei laughed after the game and said that she was almost shot in the head by Liang Enshuo during the game. Liang Enshuo also said with an embarrassed smile: "It seems to be a little higher."

Talking about putting on the national team jersey to compete in the Asian Games again, Xie Shuwei revealed that she had no plans to compete in the Asian Games originally, but because of the warm invitation and the fact that Nagoya is a place of great significance to her. Her father had brought her here in the past, she decided to compete again and take a look at the performance of the young players. However, Xiaowei stressed that she came here to play well and strive for the best results. She smiled and said, "Don't put pressure on us!"
