NEW DELHI: Lulu Sun's remarkable Wimbledon run came to an end in the quarter-finals, as Croatia's Donna Vekic, ranked 123rd, defeated the New Zealand qualifier 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 on a rainy Tuesday at the grasscourt Grand Slam in London.
By reaching the semi-finals, Vekic achieved a personal milestone and became the second Croatian woman to accomplish this feat at Wimbledon, following in the footsteps of Mirjana Lucic, who did so in 1999, reported Reuters. However, Vekic's path to victory was not without its challenges.
