SUN SHINES IN WIMBLEDON SUMMER
Lulu Sun who also goes by the surname of her father, has done almost the impossible in reaching the quarter finals of the women's open at Wimbledon which is the most eminent tennis tournament in the world.
Sun was one point from bowing out of the tough qualifying tournament she had to participate in to gain a Wimbledon spot.
Ruia Morrison virtually gained her damehood by twice reaching the last 16 at Wimbledon(1957,59) But don't expect Lulu Sun to equal this yet even having gone one better and a real chance to reach the semis.
By all accounts Sun has not had to struggle in life the way Morrison had to. With a modest background, Morrison had no family financial backup and all that brings, just pure skills and determination to succeed.
When I interviewed Ruia for a story, she took timeout to smoke a cigarette in the staff room at the school she was teaching at in Rotorua. I guarantee Lulu doesn't smoke.
Lulu,23 has so much promise as a tennis player of the highest standard. Ruia's uncle was the legionary Sir Howard Morrison who had excelled in other pursuits.
