Wimbledon 2025 results: Lucky Loser Solana Sierra makes the history of women

The 21 -year -old Argentinian became the first `lucky losing ” in the open era to reach the fourth female tower in single at All England Club.

Sierra received only 15 minutes before her first round match she would play, following an injury to the Green Minnen of Belgium.

And Sierra took its opportunity with both hands, beating Cristina Bucsa 7-5 1-6 6-1 in the third round Friday.

“I remember I was really sad that day [I lost in qualifying]And today is like the best day of my life, “she told BBC Sport.

“So it was really crazy. Seven days ago, I was out of the tournament right now, I’m in the second week. So it’s really crazy, and I’m just super happy.”

She is the first Argentine woman since Paola Suarez in 2004 reach the last 16 in Wimbledon.

Arriving at this stage, Sierra will win a minimum of £ 240,000 as a price, adding his career income considerably from £ 330,000 to this point.

Sierra extended her latest accommodation reservation until Tuesday, which means that if she beats Laura Siegemund in Germany on Sunday, she will always have a place to stay until the quarterfinals.
