Lulu Sun beats Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon

Lulu Sun has made history by moving into the quarterfinals of Wimbledon thanks to a stunning 6-2 5-7 6-2 fourth-round win over Emma Raducanu on Centre Court on Sunday.

This was a memorable match for so many reasons. Sun became the first New Zealander to play a singles match on Centre Court at Wimbledon since Chris Lewis in the menā€™s final in 1983.

She has also become the first Kiwi woman ever to make it to the singles quarterfinal at Wimbledon as her fairytale run since switching allegiances to New Zealand shows no signs of slowing down.

Following Carlos Alcarazā€™s win in four sets over Ugo Humbert, Sun and Raducanu came onto court at 4.50pm. There was a mild cheer when Sun walked on, but a more ecstatic one for Raducanu.

However, Sun didnā€™t allow the 15,000 spectators to get into the match early as she had one of her best starts during her seven-match winning run at Wimbledon.

Raducanu put the ball into the net on the first two points, then double-faulted and even though the Brit got the score to 30-40, Sun put away a volley at the net for a confidence-boosting break.

Following a hold, she broke Raducanu again to love and silenced the crowd.
