Lois Boisson, a wild-card entry, achieved a stunning upset by defeating sixth-ranked Mirra Andreeva in straight sets at Roland Garros. The match showcased Boisson's resilience as she battled back from behind to claim the first set in a tiebreak. The partisan crowd fervently supported Boisson, which visibly frustrated Andreeva. Boisson's victory marks her as the first woman to reach a Grand Slam semifinal on her debut since Jennifer Capriati in 1990, and she is the youngest French semifinalist since Amelie Mauresmo in 1999. Boisson will face Coco Gauff in the next round.
"Lois Boisson became the first woman to reach the semifinals at her debut Grand Slam since Jennifer Capriati in 1990, marking a significant achievement in tennis."
"Andreeva showed frustration with the crowd, who actively supported Boisson, chanting her name and applauding Andreeva's mistakes throughout the match."
