Career
2022-2023: Back-to-back WTA 125 quarterfinals
Sierra made her Billie Jean King Cup debut for Argentina in 2022.[1][2] At the 2023 Argentina Open straight sets wins over Varvara Lepchenko[3] and Robin Montgomery[4] saw her reach her first WTA 125 quarterfinal, where she lost to fifth seed and eventual champion Laura Pigossi.[5] Seeded seventh, Sierra also made the last eight at the following week's 2023 Montevideo Open, defeating wildcard Carolina Bohrer Martins[6] and Ekaterine Gorgodze,[7] before her run was ended by top seed Diane Parry.[8]
2024: Major debut
Sierra reached her third WTA 125 quarterfinal at the 2024 Barranquilla Open, where she overcame Jang Su-jeong[9] and Liang En-shuo,[10] only to fall at the last eight stage once again, this time to Antonia Ružić.[11]
Ranked No. 159, Sierra made her Grand Slam tournament debut at the 2024 US Open after qualifying into the main draw.[12][13] She lost in the first round to Tatjana Maria in straight sets.[14]
2025: First WTA 125 title and major wins and fourth round, top 75
In April, Sierra won her first title at the WTA 125 Antalya Challenger tournament in Turkey, winning five matches. She beat two higher ranked players on the way to the title, including 142nd ranked Leyre Romero Gormaz the final. This resulted in a new career high of No. 119 in the singles rankings on 7 April 2025.[15][16] Sierra made her top 100 debut on 16 June 2025.[17]
At the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, where she entered the main draw as a lucky loser, Sierra recorded her first win and subsequently reached the fourth round - her best achievement at a major thus far. In the first three rounds, she beat Olivia Gadecki, Katie Boulter, and Cristina Bucșa. Sierra became the first lucky loser to reach the women's singles fourth round at Wimbledon in the Open Era and the seventh woman overall to do so at any major, and was the second lucky loser to reach the fourth round of a major this year after Eva Lys at the Australian Open.[18] As a result, she reached the top 75 in the WTA rankings.
