Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-wei on Friday saw her singles run at the Citi Open end after falling to Catherine McNally of the US in the quarter-finals.
World No. 150 McNally outlasted fourth seed Hsieh 6-4, 6-3 in a two-set match in Washington that lasted 1 hour, 23 minutes.
Hsieh reached the quarter-finals late on Thursday by defeating Russian qualifier Varvara Gracheva 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 in a marathon three-setter that took 2 hours, 39 minutes.
Hsieh, who had been the only seed remaining in the women’s draw, was no match for the 17-year-old, who has so far had an impeccable run in the tournament. [FULL STORY]
