Hsieh the Giant Slayer

a Song Dynasty fantasy/wuxia portrait of Taiwanese heroine 謝淑薇 Hsieh Su-wei, a modern day tennis player whose crafty, unorthodox style and double-handed grip has surprised, frustrated, and exhausted many stronger, taller, faster, and younger opponents into defeat. Unheralded, unsponsored, and unendorsed for much of her career (only 8% of the UN recognizes the sovereignty of / use of the word Taiwan), she became the world No. 1 doubles player in 2014 during a personally and politically tense partnership with Chinese national Peng Shuai.
