The steadily improving Chinese player beat Ratchanok Intanon, the 2013 world champion from Thailand, coming from 11-14 down in the second game and from 7-12 down in the third, to build a six-point lead after which her opponent collapsed and retired.
Intanon's injury was mysteriously self-inflicted as she attempted a routine smash but toppled and ended prostrate, after which she was declared to have cramp in a calf muscle.
It was hard not to feel the injury had been related to the self-inflicted wounds which Intanon created with spectacular misses when she appeared to be in good positions to win the match.
She should have reached 19-19 in the second game but presented with a very short clear she dumped a smash into the net.
She should have reached 13-7 in the third game but missed another smash from even closer in, with Sun turning away to protect herself.
After that Sun's standard went up and Intanon's game imploded, causing her to lose 11 points in a row. She won only one more point before collapsing, needing several minutes of on-court treatment while Sun shook hands and departed to the changing room.
The previous day Sun had outplayed the Olympic champion Li Xuerui, 21-13, 21-12, taking her win with a similar calm as that against Intanon. The top-seeded Chinese player was still working her way back to fitness after spending time away with injuries, but Sun's focus throughout was impressive.
Sun was due to play the winner of Wang Yihan, the former world champion from China, and Saina Nehwal, the world number three from India.
