New Zealand’s Lulu Sun achieved the biggest victory of her career by defeating Chinese world number eight, Qinwen Zheng, in the first round at Wimbledon. Sun, who made her debut in the Wimbledon main draw, triumphed with a score of 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, surprising many who expected Zheng to win easily.
Te Anau-born Sun switched her allegiance from Switzerland to New Zealand in March and is the first New Zealander in seven years to reach a grand slam singles main draw. To get there, she had to win three qualifying matches, following in the footsteps of Marina Erakovic, who last achieved this for New Zealand in 2017.
Previously, Sun had only competed in one grand slam, exiting in the first round of this year’s Australian Open while still representing Switzerland. Her win over Zheng marks her first victory against a top 50 player and is expected to improve her world ranking from 123rd to within the top 100.
In the second round, Sun will face Ukrainian qualifier Yuliia Starodubtsewa, ranked 153rd, who advanced by defeating Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck in straight sets.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
