Throughout the game, Zheng Qinwen's form was not stable all the time. In addition to her acceptable performance in the first set, she was out of her game in the second and deciding sets. Unforced errors continued to increase, and even double faults were made at match point, which was a sigh of relief.

This victory is of great significance to Sun Lulu. It was her first career win over a top-10 player and her first win in a Grand Slam main draw. This victory will undoubtedly give her a huge boost to her self-confidence and add more possibilities for her future career.

Zheng Qinwen, as the first big seed (No. 1-8 seed) to finish the match in the current women's singles draw, her exit was a surprise. Last year, she lost to Czech Republic's Siniakova in the first round of Wimbledon, and this year she lost to qualifier Sun Lulu. Since finishing runner-up at the Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen's form has been up and down. Despite failing to win the tournament on tour, she still maintained her strength and perseverance among the top players. However, in the third round of the French Open, she suffered a bitter defeat to France's Avanesyan.

Despite his recent poor form, Zheng Qinwen did not give up. She will gather her mood and start again to represent the mainland tennis team in the women's singles competition at this year's Paris Olympics. As the first Asian player to win the No. 8 seed in the Wimbledon women's singles, Zheng Qinwen's strength and potential cannot be ignored. Although her journey at Wimbledon has been frustrated again, she is confident that she will continue to challenge herself and win glory for her country in future competitions.
