LThe great surprise of this edition of Wimbledon has its own name. It was Lulu Sunthe 123rd of the WTA, from the previous and who has sneaked into the quarterfinals of the tournament and a ‘Grand Slam’ for the first time in his career.
In fact, the tennis player from Te Anau (New Zealand) Last week on the courts of the All England Club he debuted his record of triumphs on the great stages of the racket.
Never had a player from her country gone so far in the grass ‘major’. Sun represented Switzerland until he swore allegiance to his country of origin again after the support he felt from the stands last January at the WTA in Auckland..
Lulu will rise at least 70 positions when the ranking is updated next Monday, July 15. His coach is the Slovak Vladimir Platenik, who in his day trained Belinda Bencic, Daria Kasatkina, Ajla Tomljanovic and Dominika Cibulkova.
