Emma Raducanu’s Wimbledon ends at the hands of astonishing Lulu Sun

The Telegraph  

In a brutal coincidence, world No 123 Lulu Sun took to Centre Court wearing an advertising patch which carried the word “Astonish”. Judy Murray said Emma Raducanu’s withdrawal from the mixed doubles was ‘astonishing’ on Saturday and it was also the adjective one might use to describe Sun’s performance in this match. Feeding off some tentative play from Raducanu, Sun walloped a mighty 52 winners – the highest total in the entirety of the women’s draw to date. On another day, Raducanu could still perhaps have salvaged something from this match with her sheer bloody-mindedness.
