    The stats keep coming on Lulu Sun's advance into the second round of Wimbledon by beating eighth seed Qinwen Zheng in three sets

    The stats keep coming on Lulu Sun's advance into the second round of Wimbledon by beating eighth seed Qinwen Zheng in three sets


    The victory is the first in a grand slam main draw by a New Zealand woman since Marina Erakovic made the third round on grass in 2016.

    The win also marks the first over a top 10 player by one of her compatriots since Erakovic beat Victoria Azarenka in 2011.

    The 23-year-old had also never defeated any player in the top 100.

    Sun explains one of the reasons for her improvement.
