Lucky Loser Solana Sierra Advances to Wimbledon Third Round
Solana Sierra, a tennis player from Argentina, lost in the qualifying round at Wimbledon, but got a second chance.
Because another player had to drop out, she got to play!
She won two matches in a row.
Now she's in the third round, which is a big deal because it's been 16 years since an Argentine player made it this far.
She also had to change hotels mid-tournament because she kept winning.
She is now set to face Cristina Bucsa, another strong player.
Solana Sierra, ranked 101, reached Wimbledon's third round as a 'lucky loser'.
Sierra lost in the qualifiers but entered the main draw after a withdrawal.
She defeated Olivia Gadecki and Katie Boulter in the first two rounds.
Sierra is the first Argentine in 16 years to reach Wimbledon's third round.
Sierra will face Cristina Bucsa in the next round.
