Wimbledon: Boulter bows out as Sierra cruises to success

London, July 3 (UNI) Boulter had been hoping to continue the British success on Court One as her match followed on from Norrie's.
Hopes were high when the 28-year-old made an eye-catching start to her Wimbledon tournament with a rare victory over a top 10 player, upsetting Spain's Paula Badosa.
Boulter went into that match as the underdog, but faced Sierra - ranked 101st in the world - as the favourite and that change in expectation and pressure may have played a part in this disappointing loss.
She found herself 5-2 down in the first set but drew on the home support to battle back, winning the next three games before coming out on top in a tense tie-break on Wednesday.
But it was deja vu in the second set as Boulter was broken again and there was to be no response this time as she went down 6-2.
Too many double faults on her serve proved costly and Sierra raced into a commanding 4-0 lead in the decider.
That was too much for British number two Boulter to come back from as her 21-year-old opponent sealed the impressive win, dropping just one game, according to a BBC news.
Sierra originally lost in qualifying before being invited to the main draw as a lucky loser.
The victory does present her with a dilemma - albeit a welcome one - as her longer-than-expected stay means she has had to keep finding somewhere to stay.
"I lost in the third round of qualifying and I have already changed apartment three times," said Sierra. "Now we are going to change again!"
