Excuse me this is the cutest post-doubles match win interview I have ever heard. (Hsieh Su-Wei and Elise Mertens at Indian Wells)
Taking NOTES.
++++++
When Mertens pointed out that Hsieh delivered one spectacular shot, the veteran cheekily replied, “Only one?”
No, of course not, smiled Mertens.
Later, when Mertens was quizzed on why she turned to Hsieh as her partner for 2024, the Belgian spoke about how their games meshed and their previous success.
“It just naturally flowed a little bit throughout the matches that, okay, we're not starting from scratch, we already know each other,” said Mertens. “‘I know how you play, you know how I play.’”
Hsieh then piped in. “I thought because I'm cute, that's why you asked me,” she said.
“And she is very cute, too,” Mertens happily acknowledged.
