    What does the term "lucky loser" mean in tennis? I think it has something to do with tournament qualifying.

    Question #49283. Asked by marchmadness. (Jul 11 04 6:02 PM)

    		In some knockout tournaments, one defeat does not automatically result in elimination. Beaten players have the chance to play against other such losers, with the winners being awarded places in later rounds. These players are known as "lucky losers."
