Lois Boisson sent shockwaves through the Roland Garros courts as she defeated Russian young talent Mirra Andreeva, securing a spot in the French Open semi-finals. Boisson, a wildcard entrant ranked No. 361, became the first Frenchwoman in a decade to advance so far, following in Marion Bartoli's footsteps from 2011.
This momentous victory marks a significant turnaround in a challenging year for French women's tennis, with only one player in the top 100 standings. Boisson's journey to the semi-finals included a decisive win over world number three Jessica Pegula, adding to her remarkable feat of overcoming the highly favored 18-year-old Andreeva.
Awaiting Boisson is a high-stakes match against world number two Coco Gauff for a place in the final.
