The first time I heard "lucky loser" at a ski race, I thought it to be derogatory, however, it really is someone who has been given another chance to succeed. We all have our bad days. Matt and I were talking today and I said, "This is the year." Even if I said that last year, there is always a second chance....so here it goes, "This is the year."
A lucky loser is a sports player who loses a match in the final qualifying round of a knockout tournament, but who then enters the main draw when another player withdraws after the tournament has started because of illness or injury. The lucky loser then enters the main draw, normally in place of the withdrawn player. This can only happen until all players in the main draw have started their first match in the tournament.
