Lulu Sun goes down fighting in Abu Dhabi
Lulu Sun was able to put up a fight against Leylah Fernandez in the second set of their match at the Abu Dhabi WTA 500 tournament on Wednesday.
Sun lost 6-0 6-3 to the Canadian, who was the No 8 seed at the tournament and has been in good form lately.
Although Sun struggled in the opening set, she was far more competitive against Fernandez in the second with there being just one break of serve in it.
Sun served seven aces in the second set and did have three break points, but wasn’t able to convert them.
Despite this loss, Sun picked up a confidence boosting win over Caroline Garcia from France in the opening round in Abu Dhabi, which was her first victory of the season and the ranking points from that are predicted to move her up from 45 in the world to around 42.
