British Katie Boulter Exits Wimbledon Second Round After Upset Loss

British No. 2 Katie Boulter suffered a shocking second-round exit at Wimbledon after being overpowered by Argentina's Solana Sierra, a lucky loser ranked 101st. Despite winning a tense first set tiebreak, Boulter's serve faltered dramatically, including 14 double faults, and she struggled with confidence and unforced errors, ultimately losing 6-7, 6-2, 6-1. Boulter, who has never advanced past the third round at any Grand Slam and reached a career-high ranking of 23rd, expressed doubts about whether her 'Wimbledon moment' will ever come but vowed to continue working hard and improving. She acknowledged that Sierra played better on the day and highlighted the difficulty of coping with expectations and pressure. Prior to this match, Boulter had upset ninth seed Paula Badosa in the first round and embraced her underdog status, preferring to work quietly without the spotlight. The defeat marks a second consecutive year that Boulter has failed to advance beyond the early rounds at Wimbledon, intensifying her reflections on her future prospects at the tournament.
