Argentine tennis player Solana Sierra, ranked 101st in the world, made history at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships by becoming the first lucky loser to reach the fourth round in the Open Era. Entering the main draw after losing in the qualifying rounds, the 21-year-old from Mar del Plata achieved her first Grand Slam match win against Britain's Katie Boulter with a score of 6-7(7), 6-2, 6-1 in the second round. Sierra continued her remarkable run by defeating Spain's Cristina Bucsa 7-5, 1-6, 6-1 in the third round, becoming the first Argentine woman to reach the Wimbledon fourth round since Paola Suárez in 2004. Her performance secured her a spot in the tournament's second week and improved her world ranking to at least the top 70. Sierra's journey ended in the round of 16 after a 6-3, 6-2 loss to Germany's Laura Siegemund. Despite the defeat, her historic achievement earned her recognition from Wimbledon, which will exhibit her attire and racket in the tournament museum. Sierra's breakthrough at Wimbledon marks a milestone for Argentine tennis and highlights her rapid ascent on the professional circuit.
