PARIS (AP) Hsieh Su-wei didn’t like her French Open draw. She was paired with Johanna Konta, ranked No. 8.
Hsieh is ranked 109.
”It’s not really easy to play the seed in the first round: They play all the big tournaments, they are very positive, their mental is very tough, their body is big and strong,” Hsieh said. ”For me … I just try to be positive.”
To try and allay her nervousness, Hsieh joked with her coach that she was too anxious to play.
Then she went and lost the first set 6-1 on Tuesday.
