WIMBLEDON, England — Like many professional tennis players, Hsieh Su-wei learned the game from her father, Tze-lung.
Unlike most tennis players, Hsieh also got lessons from her father on picking locks, which remains a favorite hobby.
“I can open small locks,” Hsieh, 33, said after her second-round win at Wimbledon on Wednesday. “If I play with them every day, I can open bigger and bigger ones. When they’re getting bigger, they’re a little bit more complicated.”
As an athlete, the 29th-ranked Hsieh has proved increasingly difficult to figure out.
Since starting last season ranked 103rd, Hsieh has worked her way through the game’s best players.
