Qualifier Solana Sierra Upsets Britain’s Katie Boulter At Wimbledon

British tennis player Katie Boulter's Wimbledon 2025 campaign ended in a surprising second-round defeat to Argentine lucky loser Solana Sierra, who won 6-7 (7), 6-2, 6-1. Boulter started strong by upsetting ninth seed Paula Badosa but struggled in the match against Sierra, who despite being ranked 101st, displayed powerful groundstrokes and resilience, becoming the first Argentinian woman to reach the third round at Wimbledon since 2009. Boulter's performance was marred by serving woes, including numerous double faults and a failure to maintain momentum after winning the first set, leading to a significant drop in form. Sierra, who entered the tournament as a lucky loser after failing to qualify, described the win as a dream and credited her self-belief and focus for the victory. Sierra will next face Spain's Cristina Bucsa in the third round. This upset highlighted the unpredictable nature of the women's draw at Wimbledon this year, with several top seeds falling early.
