Lulu Sun (formerly known as Lulu Radovcic; born 14 April 2001) is a Swiss tennis player. She has a career-high singles ranking by the WTA of 226, achieved on 3 April 2023, and a best doubles ranking of world No. 329, reached on 27 June 2022.

Career

Sun played college tennis at the University of Texas at Austin.[1] She won her first major ITF title at the 2022 Saint-Gaudens Open, partnering Fernanda Contreras in doubles.[2] She made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2022 Morocco Open just two days later, where she received a wildcard into the singles draw.[3]

Personal life

Having moved with her family from New Zealand to Geneva when still a toddler, she represented Switzerland as a junior, finishing runner-up with Violet Apisah in the 2018 Australian Open girls' doubles, but played under the New Zealand flag at junior Wimbledon that year while waiting for a new Swiss passport, losing in the second round in singles and the first round in doubles.[4] She has an older sister Phenomena Radovcic (born in 1998) who played in some professional tournaments until 2016.[5][6]
