<p>Qualifier Sun, ranked 123 in the world, made the last-eight by triumphing 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 over 2021 US Open winner Emma Raducanu. The 23-year-old left-hander hit 52 winners against Raducanu, who had been hoping to become the first British women&rsquo;s champion at Wimbledon in 47 years. &ldquo;Just watching the professionals growing up,&rdquo; said Sun when asked how she honed her impressive grass-court tactics.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;For example, Roger Federer, of course, coming towards the net, and I also watched Steffi Graf versus Martina Navratilova on YouTube. It was just so amazing to watch them. Of course I couldn&rsquo;t watch them live but I was taking it all on from the pros, and trying to do that for my game,&rdquo; she added.</p>
