Tenist Chillanejo Tomás Barrios continues in London waiting for the opportunity ran by the list of the “Lucky Larers” in the Grand Slam of Wimbledon after falling into the third round of La Qualy, the defining match to access the main picture of the English tournament.
The “Ñuble giant” is in the same situation as his friend and compatriot Cristián Garín. Both players are in the list to enter as “Lucky Losers”, that is, lucky losers available to play in the event that tennis players who are already in the painting cannot be presented in the tournament due to physical problems.
Chilean tennis, yes, already showed its bad fortune, because the order of admission is for a raffle and not because of the ranking. In this regard, Cristian Garin was third and Tomás Barrios Cuarto.
For worse, there were already two defections of the painting in Wimbledon: Borna Coric and Hubert Hurkacz, who were replaced by Marton Fucsoovics and Dusan Lajovic, respectively.
Thus, now we just have to expect a new decline in the tournament. If concretized, the next one who can play the Main Draw of the Third Grand Slam of the year will be Cristian Garin. If one more low is added, Tomás Barrios can enter.
Recent history at least invite optimism, taking into account that in Roland Garros there were six “Lucky Losers” in the painting. Of course, the maximum period for desertions to be completed is until Tuesday, July 1, when the first round of the tournament is finished.
Barrios will have a few days waiting for the miracle that allows him again to enter the main box which he first agreed in his career in 2023, where he even reached the second round.
It should be noted that the tournament delivers important points and in addition to money awards, which is why it is considered the largest tennis tournament, if Barrios manages to get into the Main Draw, you will have the option of looking for the necessary points to get into the hundred best in the world.
