For Bucsa, this victory marks the second time in her career that she has reached the third round of a Grand Slam tournament. For Vekic, this loss is significant as she had semifinal points from last year`s Wimbledon to defend, which will cause her ranking to drop considerably, potentially falling towards the end of the Top 50.
In the third round, Bucsa is set to face Argentina`s Solana Sierra. Sierra, who entered the main draw as a lucky loser, advanced by defeating British wildcard Katie Boulter with a score of 6-7(7), 6-2, 6-1 in her second-round match. Notably, this was Sierra`s first-ever main draw victory at a Grand Slam event.
