French Open: 361st-ranked Frenchwoman Boisson upsets No. 3 Pegula
PARIS: Loïs Boisson never had played at the French Open, let alone in the biggest arena at Roland-Garros. Nothing fazed the French wild-card entry and now she is in the quarterfinals. Boisson, ranked just 361st, threw her head back and roared after beating No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 on Court Philippe-Chatrier in the fourth round Monday. She is by far the lowest-ranked woman to beat someone ranked in the top five at the French Open in 40 years. The lowest previously in that span was No. 179 Aniko Kapros, who eliminated No. 5 Justine Henin in the first round in 2002. Boisson also is the lowest-ranked woman to reach the quarterfinals at Roland-Garros since at least 1985. Quite a victory, considering Pegula was the U.S. Open runner-up last year. Understandably, Boisson was nervous as she served for the match and saved three break points. After Pegula missed an easy-looking winner at the net and clutched her head in her hands, Boisson had her first match point, the biggest point of her career. Pegula returned a strong serve to the back of the court, where Boisson unleashed a forehand winner down the line. She then raised her arms and realized the enormity of her win. 'Thank you to all of you,' Boisson told the crowd in her post-match interview. 'Playing on this court with such an atmosphere was really incredible.' Boisson made the notoriously hard-to-please crowd laugh when she added: 'I'm really happy on here. I can stay a long time if you like.' The crowd broke into chants of 'Loïs! Loïs!' and she waved back to them. She is the only French singles player left in either bracket and feels comfortable on clay, having played on it regularly since taking up tennis when she was 8. Asked what her ambitions were for the rest of the tournament — she plays sixth-seeded Mirra Andreeva on Wednesday in the quarterfinals — Boisson replied, 'I hope to win, right?' That prompted more laughter from the crowd, which included tournament director Amelie Mauresmo, who has been criticized for the lack of women's matches during night sessions.

French Open: No. 1 Jannik Sinner dominates Andrey Rublev to reach the quarterfinals
PARIS: Top-ranked Jannik Sinner's latest dominant performance at the French Open was a 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 victory over No. 17 Andrey Rublev on Monday night to reach the quarterfinals and extend his Grand Slam winning streak to 18 matches. Sinner is a three-time major champion who won the US Open last September and the Australian Open this January. Now he'll try to get to the semifinals at Roland-Garros for the second consecutive year and faces 62nd-ranked Alexander Bublik on Wednesday. Here is just how good Sinner has been in Paris over the past week-plus: He hasn't lost a set and has dropped a total of 30 games. Sinner actually began somewhat slowly against Rublev under the lights at Court Philippe-Chatrier. Well, for four points, anyway. Rublev got two break points at 15-40 in the opening game, but Sinner erased those and was on his way. He only faced one other break point the rest of the match and saved it, too. Sinner finished the first set with 10 winners to just three unforced errors and kept the pressure on Rublev.

French Open: No. 62 Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan beats No. 5 Jack Draper in the fourth round
PARIS: Alexander Bublik became the first man from Kazakhstan to reach the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam tournament, eliminating No. 5 Jack Draper 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 on Monday at the French Open. The 27-year-old Bublik dropped to the court, smudging himself with the red clay, when he finished off the biggest win of his career after about 2 1/2 hours. 'Sometimes in life, there is only one chance, and I had a feeling that that was mine and I couldn't let it slip,' he told the crowd afterward. 'Standing here is the best moment of my life. Period.' Moments later, he joked: 'I'm standing here like I won the thing.' Bublik managed to produce a total of 68 winners, 31 more than the left-handed Draper. At No. 62, Bublik is the lowest-ranked man to earn a pair of victories at Roland-Garros against opponents ranked in the top 10 since No. 100 Andrei Medvedev in 1999. Bublik came back from a two-set deficit to defeat No. 9 Alex de Minaur in the second round last week. 'I have a certain skill set to play tennis,' Bublik said, 'and it worked marvelously today — 100% one of the best days of my life and one of the best matches I have ever played in my life.' Draper called himself 'incredibly disappointed with the result.' After reaching his first major semifinal at last year's U.S. Open, Draper has been having the best season of his career, winning his first Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells, California, in March and breaking into the top 10 of the rankings. 'Didn't play a bad match. I thought he played incredibly well,' Draper said about Bublik. 'He didn't allow me to play my tennis, I don't think.'
