Sinner says childhood acquaintance Boisson 'deserves' fairytale French Open run
Men's world number one Jannik Sinner revealed Wednesday he learned his trade alongside Roland Garros sensation Lois Boisson, after the 361st-ranked player extended her stunning run in Paris by reaching the semi-finals on the women's side of the draw. A video circulated on social media earlier in the day of the unlikely duo enjoying an early morning hitting session before playing their respective quarter-final matches. But Sinner told reporters after his straight-sets win over Alexander Bublik where he booked his spot in the semi-final that he and the French wildcard have known each other for years. "We actually were in the same centre for a little while back in the days," said the top seed Italian. "And we practised, you know, sometimes together even there. So I know her. It's now already a time ago." Despite their hugely differing career paths since then, Sinner said he and Boisson had even had a catch-up shortly before the Dijon-native's ascent to stardom. "I saw her before the tournament in the gym," he recounted. "We talked a little bit how things are, and she was very happy. Having a wildcard here, it's a special tournament for her, being French." A relative unknown to the tennis world at large, Boisson has enjoyed a fairytale maiden Grand Slam appearance, ousting third seed Jessica Pegula and world number six Mirra Andreeva in successive matches to reach the last four in Paris. In doing so, the 22-year-old became the lowest-ranked major semi-finalist in the last 40 years, and also the new sporting icon of a nation. "It's amazing, no?," said Sinner. "I think that's exactly what France needs, you know, something very new, very special, great mentality. "I think the level she produces is amazing, no? Very consistent. Very clay court style, you know, with the forehand, a lot of topspin." Sinner got a close-up of that heavy topspin style on Wednesday when knocking up with Boisson before the day's play. And it was the three-time Grand Slam winner who did the asking. "Today it was raining, so I called here, the desk, you know, if there was some free spot, because I don't want to risk to go on court without warming up," Sinner said. "So we arrived here quite early. Yeah, she said straightaway yes, and we hit some balls." Though they may be separated by 360 ranking spots, Sinner said he was impressed by Boisson's ball-striking ability. "It was a very consistent warm-up for a different game style for a woman, because the ball is quite high and quite spinny," he said. "Physically very strong. She deserves to be in the position where she is right now, and we wish her all the best for the future." nf/jc

"I'm very happy with how I've arrived in the semi-finals. The semi-finals in Grand Slams are very special, I'm looking forward to it," Sinner there, it was all Sinner. Bublik's shot selection faltered under pressure, including a failed underarm serve, as the Italian tightened his grip on the match. Sinner completed the win in just an hour and 48 minutes, securing his place in the last Open Day 11 Live UpdatesThe victory marked another milestone for the 23-year-old, who became the first Italian man to reach six Grand Slam semi-finals. It also extended his unbeaten run at majors, following title triumphs at the US Open and Australian will face either Novak Djokovic or Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals. He is tied 4-4 in his head-to-head with Djokovic and trails Zverev 3-4."We've played each other a couple of times already, so we already knew what to expect a little bit. But, in other aspects, you never know how he is going to play," Sinner added."I feel like he deserved to be in this quarter-final ... I tried to focus on my side of the court. I was trying to play as solid as possible because he can have some ups and downs, so I just needed to stay consistent throughout the whole match."As Sinner continues his pursuit of a maiden Roland Garros title, he remains one of the most in-form and composed players on tour, showing little sign of slowing down.
