Eva Lys Awaits Lucky Loser Status at Miami Open After Qualifying Defeat
Miami Gardens, FL – eva Lys’s hopes of directly entering the Miami Open are on hold after a qualifying defeat to Japan’s Aoi Ito. The German player lost 6-4, 4-6, 2-6 in the final qualifying round and now awaits her fate as a potential “lucky loser.”
Lys Relies on Withdrawals for Main Draw Entry
Lys is hoping for a similar scenario to Indian Wells, where she re-entered the tournament following Paula Badosa’s withdrawal. However, securing a lucky loser spot depends on several factors, primarily withdrawals from players already in the main draw.
How the Lucky Loser System Works
The process for selecting a lucky loser varies. If a player withdraws before the qualifying rounds conclude, a random draw occurs between the two highest-ranked losers from the second qualifying round (Q2). In indian Wells, Sonay Kartal, who defeated Lys, benefited from this rule and reached the round of 16.
However, should a withdrawal happen only after qualifying is over, there will be no draw, and the highest-ranked losing player takes her place in the main draw.

To improve her chances of being the frist in line for a lucky loser spot,the 23-year-old Lys needs Irina-Camelia Begu and Kimberly Birrell to directly enter the main draw. Their participation would position Lys as the highest-ranked loser potentially eligible for the open spot.
Siegemund and Maria Face Uphill Battle for Lucky loser Spot
Fellow Germans Laura Siegemund and Tatjana Maria also competed in the qualifiers with the intention of taking a lucky loser spot. However, their lower seeding – ninth and eleventh, respectively – decreases their chances compared to Lys.
