Loïs Boisson Makes Historic French Open Semifinal

Loïs Boisson, a 22-year-old French wildcard ranked No. 361, reached the French Open semifinals by defeating sixth seed Mirra Andreeva, making her the lowest-ranked woman to reach a Grand Slam semifinal in 40 years and the first Frenchwoman at Roland Garros since 2011. Boisson overcame a serious ACL injury from last year and earned notable wins over top players, including Jessica Pegula and Andreeva. Her remarkable run guarantees her entry into the world's top 70 and has reinvigorated hope in French women's tennis, which currently lacks top-ranked stars. Boisson credited her improved mentality and preparation for her success and expressed her ambition to win the title. She has drawn praise from fellow players, including Jannik Sinner, for her clay-court skills and resilience. Boisson will face world No. 2 Coco Gauff in the semifinals as she aims for a historic victory on home soil.
