Hsieh would be an excellent role model for 90% of the tennis playerbase to follow. Consistent, great hand eye and ball skills. tactically sound. She has no power but most rec players with "power" can't control it. Developing more finesse to their game would save them I'm sure.
Most of the senior 5.0's I've come across play a very similar game to Hsieh. It's all about placement and keeping it out of the opponents wheelhouse. Deep slices, deep moderate paced topspin, angled slices when coming in, great disguise on the droppers. Just makes a lot of power hitters look foolish.
Anyways, Slice is an underutilized shot in tennis. One of the pros who's won our club championship before tells me his first groundstroke lesson is the slice. It is almost a necessity as you advance as there is no other shot that adequately defends against someone else's deep low bouncing slice.
The vast majority of rec players play the way Hsieh plays - I agree she is the one to follow.
