“It’s always not easy to play in the final, and the opponents will fight super hard. We all know it’s the last match so we will fight until the last point definitely. All the partners, they are amazing to help because sometime I get on the court at the beginning, and I do not start very well.

“Really good job to help, so it helps a lot,” said Hsieh in her post match interview.

Elise and Hsieh escaping match point scare

After a 6-3 first set loss, the pair had very less hopes of coming back into the game. However, with a champion’s mentality, they played some hardcore tennis to win the second set. They saved two match points in the second set and won with a score of 7-5.

“It was definitely disappointing that we had some matches that we didn’t finish, couldn’t finish some chances. But I think the best thing to do is to learn from it. If you keeping negative about it, you’re not going to go any further, you’re not going to go forward, not going to grow as a team,” said Mertens.
