Su-Wei Hsieh and Jelena Ostapenko exit US Open doubles quarterfinals

Su-Wei Hsieh and Jelena Ostapenko were eliminated in the women's doubles quarterfinals of the US Open after losing to the 8th-seeded pair of Elise Mertens and Diana Shnaider with a score of 5-7, 3-6.

The match was marked by significant tension following the victory of Ostapenko and Hsieh over the pairing of Hsieh Chan and Maya Joint in a previous round. During that earlier match, Ostapenko and Hsieh engaged in heated shouting toward the opposing team's box. The tension culminated in a controversial moment where Hsieh Chan declined to shake hands with Hsieh after the match, an incident noted by international media including the New York Post.

Reports suggest the friction stems from long-standing tensions within Taiwanese tennis, including past grievances regarding resource allocation by the Chinese Taipei Tennis Association. This loss marks the third time Hsieh has been eliminated in the US Open women's doubles quarterfinals.
