Solid Sinner breezes past Bublik to book semi-final spot
PARIS :World number one Jannik Sinner marched ahead in his relentless pursuit of a maiden French Open title with a typically efficient 6-1 7-5 6-0 win over Kazakh showman Alexander Bublik to reach the Roland Garros semi-finals on Wednesday. The near-flawless victory ensured Sinner became the first Italian man to make six Grand Slam semi-finals and extended his winning run at the majors to 19 matches after his triumphs at last year's U.S. Open and the Australian Open in January. The retraction of Court Philippe Chatrier's roof after a cold, rainy morning signalled the opening of the floodgates as Sinner raced away to a 5-0 lead before Bublik got on the board and immediately threatened to break the top seed. Sinner snuffed out his challenge to win the first set with ease but the 23-year-old ran into trouble in the next set when Bublik pulled out trademark drop shots from his bag of tricks and worked his opponent harder to stay level after 10 games. An untimely dip allowed Sinner to pounce and the three-time Grand Slam champion broke before holding comfortably to stop the brave comeback of his 62nd-ranked opponent and double his own advantage in the contest. The one-way traffic resumed in the third set, where Bublik hit a failed underarm serve while trying to avoid going a double break down, before Sinner tightened his grip to seal the win and book a clash with either Alexander Zverev or Novak Djokovic.

Boisson bottles up Andreeva to spark French Open fairytale
PARIS :Lois Boisson sent the Roland Garros faithful into a state of euphoria on Wednesday, conjuring the unimaginable as she toppled Russian wunderkind Mirra Andreeva 7-6(6) 6-3 to reach the French Open semi-finals. In her maiden Grand Slam main draw appearance, granted via a wild card, the world No. 361 became the first Frenchwoman to reach the Roland Garros last four since Marion Bartoli in 2011 — and she did it in style. In a bleak year for French women's tennis, with just one player inside the top 100, the 22-year-old Boisson — sidelined from last year's tournament by a serious knee injury — stunned world number three Jessica Pegula in the fourth round before ousting the baby-faced but battle-hardened 18-year-old Andreeva, the world number six. Next up? A clash with world number two Coco Gauff for a place in Saturday's final. "It's incredible. Thank you for supporting me like this — I have no words," Boisson told a delirious home crowd that chanted her name, roared at every point, and turned against Andreeva when the Russian's frustrations boiled over. 'I ran a bit too much because I was so tense early on,' she admitted. 'But I fought hard in that first set, which was so intense. At the start of the second, I felt a little empty, but I hung in there and finished the job.' Andreeva, a semi-finalist in Paris last year, entered as the heavy favourite. She looked to be cruising when she raced to a 3-1 lead under the closed roof on Court Philippe Chatrier. But Boisson refused to blink, point-by-point clawing her way back. It was Andreeva who had to dig deep to stay alive, surviving a 14-minute game at 5-6 and saving three set points before forcing a tiebreak. Even then, Boisson hung tough, recovering from 0-2, saving a set point, and snatching the set when an increasingly rattled Andreeva sent a forehand just wide. After an exhausting 68-minute opening set, Andreeva regrouped to go 3-0 up in the second. But once again, Boisson scrapped her way level as Andreeva cracked, earning a warning for ball abuse after launching a ball into the stands in frustration. Boisson, locked in her bubble, broke for 4-3, triggering yet another deafening ovation. A gritty hold followed, as she saved two break points, before the Russian crumbled on serve. As match point landed, Boisson collapsed onto the clay, then rose with arms aloft, her face streaked with terre battue and emotion.

Keys has no regrets after errors prove costly in French Open quarter-final
PARIS :A litany of errors ended the chances of Madison Keys in her French Open quarter-final with fellow American Coco Gauff on Wednesday but the Australian Open champion said she had no regrets for poor decisions that proved costly. Keys, the newest member of the Grand Slam winners' club following her Melbourne triumph in January, bowed out of Roland Garros after a 6-7(6) 6-4 6-1 loss with her 60th and final unforced error on match-point of a forgettable clash. The affable 30-year-old had arrived in Paris after a less than ideal run in tune-up tournaments on clay and was pleased at making the last eight after showcasing her free-swinging tennis in earlier rounds. "I don't really have regrets. I don't think I played quite the level that I wish that I could have, but I don't think that I regret not going for things or making poor decisions," Keys told reporters. "I just think that what I wanted to do and the level I produced just weren't on the same page today." Keys said playing under the roof of Court Philippe Chatrier on a cold and rainy day made a difference. "Definitely a different environment to play in. A lot more dead and slow with the roof closed," Keys added. "So just very different conditions. I'd much prefer it to be bouncy and hot, but it's just the reality of weather. Conditions like today unfortunately I think play a little bit more into Coco and make her even tougher to beat. "The court being a little bit slower coupled with the fact that she covers the court so well, it just put a little bit of pressure on me to go a little bit more for my shots and maybe press a little bit too much too soon." The big-hitting Keys will welcome the switch to the grass season ahead of Wimbledon, which begins on June 30, even if the turnaround is quick. "The tennis season doesn't really allow you to ease into anything, so I'm going to London tomorrow, and I imagine I'll be on grass on Friday. That's the reality of the sport," she said. "I've typically felt pretty comfortable on grass, so the first couple of days I imagine I'll be a little bit more sore just because the ball is so much lower, and it feels like you have to work a little bit harder just to move on the grass."
