New Zealand er Lulu Sun has created history after defeating British tennis star Emma Raducanu in a rollercoaster fourth round clash to become the first ever Kiwi woman to make the final eight at Wimbledon .
"I'm just incredibly ... I don't even have the words right now," an emotional Sun told ESPN after the historic win."Walking through to centre court, I was just like wow. Looking around and taking it all in for the first time. I'm just super happy. It's such an amazing experience for me." She is also only the second woman from New Zealand to reach a major quarterfinal in the Open era, following Belinda Cordwell at the 1989 Australian Open.
The sensational upset ended Raducanu’s hopes of making her inaugural Wimbledon quarterfinal three years after bursting onto the tennis stage following her win at the 2021 US Open.
