Sun has a career record of 1-3 against Top 50 players, and her first Top 50 win came in the first round of this year’s Wimbledon against No. 8 Zheng Qinwen. Sun has reached the quarterfinals of a tour-level event only twice in her career, with the first being at the 2022 Seoul tournament. She is aiming to reach her first tour-level semifinal in this tournament. Sun’s current ranking of No. 123 is a significant improvement from her ranking of No. 263 at the same time last year.
