MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Hsieh Su-wei won plenty of new admirers at the Australian Open as she leveraged her unorthodox game to an unexpected quarter-final spot, but despite all the added attention the 35-year-old does not expect sponsors to be banging down her door.

Taiwan's Hsieh, who became the oldest woman in the Open era to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final for the first time, saw her Melbourne Park adventure brought to an end on Tuesday in a 6-2 6-2 thrashing by Naomi Osaka.
