Welcome to the world of Serbian tennis at Wimbledon, where luck and talent collide like never before! Serbian tennis player Dušan Lajović didn’t manage to qualify directly for the main Wimbledon draw, but—wait for it—he got in as a true “lucky loser”! Yes, you read that right. While others fought hard to earn their spots, Lajović basically got a free pass, joining the big Serbian quartet: Novak Djokovic, Miomir Kecmanović, Hamad Međedović, and Laslo Djere. First round? He’s up against local player Billy Harris. Is that an ideal opponent or just a lucky coincidence? Lajović won the first two qualifying rounds but lost in the final to Frenchman Arthur Cazaux 3-1. Still, luck smiled on him, and now he’s part of the main draw.
But let’s not forget the other Serbian players. Nina Stojanović also secured her spot in the Wimbledon main draw by beating Taiwan’s Joanne Garland 7-5, 7-5 in the final qualifying round. This marks Stojanović’s seventh career main draw appearance at a Grand Slam, with her best result being the second round of the Australian Open. Wimbledon runs from June 30 to July 13, with the draw ceremony scheduled for Friday at 11 AM London time.
Is this the year of Serbian tennis at Wimbledon? With Novak Djokovic as the star, Lajović sneaking in as a “lucky loser,” and Stojanović showing she can battle the best, Serbian fans have reasons to be optimistic. But is luck enough to earn a spot at the world’s biggest tennis tournament? Or is it time for our players to prove they deserve every point on the court?
If you thought tennis was just a game of skill, think again. Sometimes you need a bit of luck, and Lajović proved that. Now it’s up to him and the others to seize the opportunity and show they’re not just lucky winners but true champions. What do you think? Did Lajović earn his spot, or is he just a lucky “lucky loser”? Drop a comment, have a laugh, or get mad—but don’t stay silent!
