Lois Boisson Advances to Semifinals at Roland Garros with Stunning Upset

Paris, France – French wild card Lois Boisson shocked the tennis world by reaching the semifinals of the 2025 Roland Garros after a dramatic victory over No. 6 seed Mirra Andreeva. This win makes Boisson the youngest French semifinalist since Amélie Mauresmo, demonstrating her potential on the international stage.

Boisson’s match against Andreeva, which occurred two days after her upset against World No. 3 Jessica Pegula, ended with a score of 7-6(6), 6-3. The match lasted 2 hours and 8 minutes, with Boisson showing remarkable resilience by coming from behind in both sets. She faced difficulties early, trailing 3-1 and 5-3 in the first set but managed to save two set points before clinching it in a tiebreak.

As the first French wild card to reach the semifinals in Roland Garros history, Boisson’s journey has captured the attention of fans and experts alike. After her victory, she expressed her focus on the current tournament rather than future rankings, stating, “I just try to stay focused in this tournament now. I really enjoy everything that I leave here on the court and outside the court.”

Following this win, Boisson is projected to rise significantly in the PIF WTA Rankings, jumping nearly 300 spots. With her career high of No. 152 achieved last year, she is now guaranteed to reach at least No. 68 following the tournament.

Despite her success, Boisson maintains a grounded mindset, saying, “My dream is to win it, not to be in the semifinal. So I will try to do my best for it.” As she prepares for her upcoming match against No. 2 seed Coco Gauff, the eyes of the tennis world will be watching closely to see if she can continue her Cinderella story.
