Who Is Frederic Aniere? Meet Hsieh Su-wei’s Boyfriend and Traveling Coach

As Taiwanese tennis star Hsieh Su-wei continues her impressive run at Wimbledon 2025, her off-court partner, Frederic Aniere, has been quietly supporting her every step of the way — both as a boyfriend and as a travelling coach.

Here’s everything you need to know about the man behind the scenes in Su-wei’s remarkable tennis journey.

Who Is Frederic Aniere?

Frederic Aniere is a Paris-born former real estate agent who transitioned into tennis life after meeting Hsieh Su-wei in 2016. At the time, Su-wei was in Paris for training and was introduced to Frederic through a mutual friend. What began as a casual outing — including meals with her team — quickly evolved into a long-term relationship.

By 2017, Su-wei had moved in with Aniere in Paris. Shortly after, Frederic left his career in property to travel with Su-wei on the WTA Tour full-time, serving as her practice partner and emotional support during competitions.

His Role in Su-wei’s Career

Though not a formal tennis coach, Aniere plays a crucial role in Su-wei’s team. He offers encouragement and structure while allowing Su-wei — a uniquely instinctive and free-flowing player — to “be herself” on and off the court.

In an interview with WTAtennis.com, Aniere said: “She knows exactly what she has to do herself… I’m just here to give her confidence, to have a good time together… She’s interesting, different from other players.”

He added that Su-wei doesn’t follow a rigid training schedule. Instead of intense daily court sessions, her routine focuses on flexibility, yoga, and stretching, prioritizing feeling and fitness — a system that has paid off well into her 30s.

A Supportive Partner

Frederic Aniere’s presence has helped ground Su-wei during the highs and lows of professional tennis. He describes their approach as one built on positive energy and mutual respect, with no need to over-coach or pressure.

“We don’t push her too much,” he explained. “It makes it more fun to go out on the court and practice.”

As of July 2025, the couple does not have children, but they continue to live together in Paris and travel the globe for Su-wei’s tournaments.

At Wimbledon 2025

Hsieh Su-wei, now 38, has reached the semi-finals in women’s doubles alongside partner Jelena Ostapenko, with Frederic likely close by in the players’ box. The pair is set to face defending champions Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend in what promises to be a thrilling showdown.
