Lulu Sun’s Cinderella campaign has taken her into the quarterfinals of the 2024 Wimbledon Open, where she will face WTA veteran Donna Vekic on Center Court. Sun continues to shine under the bright lights of All England Club as he became an overnight celebrity following her stunning upset of former US Open champion Emma Raducanu 6-2 5-7 6-2 in the fourth round. The Swiss-born netter has extended her winning streak to seven matches, which began in the qualification stage of the Wimbledon Open. After surviving three grueling qualifying matches, Sun made some noise right away after stunning No.8 seed Qinwen Zheng 4-6 6-2 6-4 in the first round. She then gutted three more tough wins over Yuliia Starodubtseva of Ukraine 4-6 6-3 6-2, Lin Zhu of China 7-6(4) 7-6(6), and Raducanu to reach the Wimbledon Open quarterfinals in only her first year of competing in Grand Slam tournaments. Vekic, who aims for her first semi-final stint in a Grand Slam tournament, also went through the eye of the needle to book her third quarterfinal appearance in a Grand Slam event. Vekic toppled Xiyu Wang 3-6 6-3 6-4, Erika Andreeva 6-2 6-3, Dayana Yastremska 7-6(4) 6-7(3) 6-1 and Paula Badosa Gibert 6-2 1-6 6-4 to arrive at this juncture of the tourney.
