Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-wei can be very pleased about her year as she shot up from a No. 172 ranking to a career-high 25, making her the highest-ranked Taiwanese ever. She credits her new partnership with veteran Aussie coach Paul McNamee for her success.

“I started working with Paul last year during Wimbledon,” Hsieh told the Taipei Times. “I think I changed a lot of my game, including mentally, and I think the main key is I have a great coach.”

McNamee convinced the 26-year-old that the she shouldn’t just focus on doubles. “She didn’t really want to play much singles when I started working with her, but I could see she had so much talent it was a waste,”

McNamee said. “My job was to make her feel like she belonged in the big league and I think she believes it now. She can hit forehands and backhands in both directions [with equal proficiency], which is very unusual. Her opponent never quite knows what shot Su-wei is going to play.”

McNamee, who is currently training his student in Melbourne, added that it was important she could be herself.

“She didn’t have to change who she was, she’s a free spirit and you can’t put that in a box,” he said. “It’s very important that you let that fly.”
