Central News Agency, reporter Chen Rongchen, Taipei, May 16 (Report) Taiwanese tennis star Su-Wei Hsieh stated on her personal social media today that she has been selected by the Taiwan Tennis Association to represent Taiwan in the Billie Jean King Cup women's team tournament, and even hinted at her intention to compete in the Los Angeles Olympics.

The long-standing Billie Jean King Cup women's tennis team tournament will have the Taiwan team scheduled to go to Malaysia in June to compete in the Asia/Oceania Zone Group II, aiming to return to the Group I stage. Unexpectedly, the recent list of representatives announced by the Tennis Association was missing nine-time Grand Slam doubles champion Su-Wei Hsieh, 24-year-old "Singles Ace" mixed Taiwanese-British player Joanna Garland, and doubles players Chan Hao-ching and Wu Fang-hsien, sparking heated public discussion and leading original coach Chan Yung-jan to resign.

At the same time, Su-Wei Hsieh stated on social media that she received inquiries from the Tennis Association last year about participating in the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup Asia/Oceania Zone Group I, but did not receive a letter asking about participating this year, and had taken the initiative to send a letter to the Tennis Association. Now that she has received good news, Su-Wei Hsieh has been selected for the Billie Jean King Cup representative list, and even added "LA Olympics, here I come," hinting at her intention to fight for the five-ring hall again.

Secretary-General of the Taiwan Tennis Association Wang Ling-hua stated in an interview with the Central News Agency today that the Billie Jean King Cup coach Chan Yung-jan decided to resign, and the new coach was passed by the Tennis Association's selection committee, and it was decided to select Su-Wei Hsieh, so the list of representatives will have slight changes.

Su-Wei Hsieh, who has 9 Grand Slam doubles titles in her career, will next team up with Chinese partner Wang Xinyu to fight in the French Open. The two won the women's doubles championship in 2023, and it was the first Grand Slam gold cup after Su-Wei Hsieh returned from injury. This time, the "Strait Combination" joined hands again, hoping to replicate the title-winning script from 3 years ago.
