Zhu Lin had five break points in her opponent’s first two service games but failed to capitalize, while Sun was the one who broke first, establishing a 4-2 lead. Zhu managed to break back in Sun’s serve to force a tiebreak in the first set. Sun then won three consecutive points from 4-4, securing the set 7-6(4).
Zhu took an early break in the second set for a 3-1 advantage, but Sun responded with a break of her own, leveling the match. The score seesawed, leading to another tiebreak. Unfortunately for Zhu, she squandered two consecutive match points at 6-4, conceding four straight points as Sun clinched the second set 7-6(6) and the match.
Sun will face either Sakkari or Raducanu in the Round of 16 of the Women’s Singles.
