Sun Xinran saved a break point at 5-5 with a forehand down the line, then passed Cristina Bucsa on her first match point to win 6-4, 7-5 in Beijing on October 3, 2026.
The 16-year-old had recovered from 0-2 in the second set before Bucsa’s net pressure erased a 5-4 lead. Two late forehands served different purposes: preserving serve, then finishing.
The 91-minute win made Sun the first 2010-born player to win a completed WTA 1000-or-higher match. Her tour main-draw debut continued against Coco Gauff in the third round.
