MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Chinese New Year arrives on Friday but Hsieh Su-wei's parents may know better than to expect a call from their daughter after the Taiwanese maverick burnished her giantkilling resume to reach the Australian Open third round.

Hsieh, who knocked out former U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu on Wednesday, can't remember the last time she celebrated the holiday properly, nor does she tend to call home during tournaments, much less a Grand Slam.
