New Zealand qualifier Lulu Sun reached her first Grand Slam quarter-final at Wimbledon on Sunday with victory over Emma Raducanu, shattering home hopes of ending a 47-year wait for a British women's champion.
Sun, ranked at 123 in the world, triumphed 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 over the 2021 US Open winner.
The 23-year-old left-hander, who had never won a Grand Slam match before this Wimbledon, hit 52 winners against Raducanu, who took a medical time-out in the third set to treat problems with her ankle and back.
Sun will face Donna Vekic of Croatia for a place in the semi-finals.
