Loïs Boisson Shocks Fans, Advances to French Open Semifinals

PARIS, France — Loïs Boisson, a wild card entrant, stunned Mirra Andreeva, the No. 6 seed, to reach the semifinals of the 2025 French Open on June 4. Boisson triumphed on Court Philippe-Chatrier with a score of 7-6(6), 6-3.

Despite trailing at points in the match, the 22-year-old French player displayed remarkable composure, finally closing out the match after a tense tiebreak. Boisson’s victory marks a significant milestone, making her only the third player since 1980 to reach the semifinals in her first Grand Slam appearance, following in the footsteps of Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati.

“It’s surreal,” Boisson said in her post-match interview, expressing disbelief at her own performance. “To win in front of this crowd and to be in the semifinals is a dream come true.”

Boisson will face No. 2 seed Coco Gauff in her semifinal match, who defeated Madison Keys (No. 7) in a hard-fought battle, winning 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-1. Gauff, the American teenager, has been a strong contender throughout the tournament.

On the men’s side, the action continues with Jannik Sinner, the top seed, squaring off against Alexander Bublik. Sinner, who has been on a winning streak, seeks to extend his dominance after a successful run so far.

“Every match brings new challenges, and I’m ready for it,” Sinner remarked before his quarterfinal clash.

As Gauff and Boisson prepare for their showdown tomorrow, fans are eager to witness if the French player can continue her fairytale run.

Boisson’s achievement not only highlights her talent but also gives hope to aspiring athletes in France, as she becomes the first French player to reach a women’s singles Grand Slam semifinal since Marion Bartoli in 2011.

“I’m just going to focus on my game and enjoy the moment,” Boisson added, reflecting on her upcoming match.

With excitement building, tennis enthusiasts around the world await the results of these thrilling semifinal pairings.
