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 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 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 is also a tennis player.[5][6]
