Who is Lois Boisson? World No.361 who has reached French Open semi-finals
Lois Boisson continued her fairytale run at Roland-Garros on Wednesday with the French world No.361 now just one win away from the 2025 final. The 22-year-old stunned Mirra Andreeva 7-6 6-3 in last eight to become the first player in the Open Era to reach the semi-finals of the French Open women's singles event as a wildcard. Little was known about Boisson before this year's Grand Slam in Paris – but after knocking out three seeded stars – she's attracting plenty of attention. Ahead of Boisson's semi-final showdown against American second-seed Coco Gauff, here's everything you need to know about the Frenchwoman… Boisson made her WTA Tour debut at the Lyon Open in 2021, playing as a wildcard in the doubles tournament alongside Juline Fayard. The following year, Boisson landed her first singles title on the ITF Circuit in Dijon. After a second ITF title in 2023 in Le Havre, Boisson hit serious form in March 2024 by landing three ITF titles in the space of just one month. That saw Boisson jump up a level to play on the WTA Challenger Tour and she landed a clay-court title at the Open de Saint-Malo in May 2024. Boisson was set to receive a wildcard for her major main draw debut at the 2024 French Open – but injured her left knee – tearing her ACL just a week before the event. It meant Boisson had to wait until the 2025 French Open – where she has now made an incredible and historic run to the semi-finals in Paris. First round – 24th-seed Elise Mertens – 24th-seed Elise Mertens Second round – Anhelina Kalinina – Anhelina Kalinina Third round – Elsa Jacquemot – Elsa Jacquemot Fourth round – Third-seed Jessica Pegula – Third-seed Jessica Pegula Quarter-final – Sixth-seed Mirra Andreeva Boisson is set for the biggest ranking jump from a Grand Slam run since British star Emma Raducanu won the 2021 US Open as a qualifier. She was the world No.361 heading into Roland-Garros – but has now earned a huge 780 points for reaching the last four – with a projected new career-high ranking of world No.65. Analysis from Metro's dedicated tennis reporter Liam Grace… At the age of just 22, Boisson is already a very impressive technical player, which is way she's so well suited to the clay surface. She can generate lots of spin on her forehand shots which has caused her opponents all kinds of problems. Her movement is unbelievably good and her sliced backhand also makes her a huge threat. She's able to hit aces, too. Tennis experts have been left blown away by Boisson's performances at this year's French Open. 'She has the whole game,' Mats Wilander told TNT Sports. 'So you wonder whether it's just injury that's kept her out of it or if it's a mental thing. 'For me, she's a top-20 player on any surface with that kind of game.' More Trending Former British No.1 Tim Henman added: 'It's been an incredible story this fortnight. 'ACL injury last year, out of the equation and the game for nine months. The way she's come through and backed up the [Jessica] Pegula victory. 'I thought emotionally and technically she wasn't going to get close to winning this match [against Andreeva], but she was just incredible. 'The way that she competed, three sets, over two hours. It was a phenomenal effort, mentally and physically.'

Tennis star Lois Boisson told she 'smells really bad' before stunning French Open
Tennis star Lois Boisson told she 'smells really bad' before stunning French Open Lois Boisson was ranked 361st in the world ahead of the tournament but a fairytale run has seen her soar up the rankings Lois Boisson (L) of France embraces Mirra Andreeva after her victory (Image: 2025 Andy Cheung ) French Open wildcard Lois Boisson has stunned the Roland Garros crowd again by sealing another shock win over world number six Mirra Andreeva to make it through to the women's singles semi-finals. The 22-year-old, who was ranked 361st in the world ahead of the tournament, continued her fairytale run as she battled back to upset 18-year-old Andreeva and claim a 7-6(6), 6-3 win. Having become the first player in the Open Era to reach the semi-finals of the event as a wildcard, she will now face world number two Coco Gauff in the last four. Boisson has also become the youngest French women's semi-finalist at a Grand Slam for 26 years, while she has now soared a huge 296 places up the rankings to a projected new career-high of 65th. After battling to victory in front of a home crowd, Boisson was blown away by the support she had received as she reflected on her phenomenal achievement. 'It was unbelievable, it was amazing to feel supported like this," she said in her post-match interview. "I have no words to describe that feeling. 'Whatever the situation last year and difficult moments we went through, it's unbelievable to come from there, but it's also thanks to my team who supported me. It's thanks to all of us, really. Article continues below "I think I ran a bit too much because I was so tense.," Boisson added as she analysed her performance. "It was difficult to hit the ball from the racket. I fought hard. "The first set was very intense and at the beginning of the second set, I was really tired. But in the end, I managed to recover and to finish as I did. 'Well, I'm going to try and recover, see the physios, there's six physios in my box. So I have plenty of choice.' Boisson is through to the French Open semi-finals after another stunning win Boisson - who had already beaten third seed Jessica Pegula on her way to the quarter-final - was a relative unknown ahead of the tournament but hit headlines earlier this year when she was accused of "smelling really bad" by British star Harriet Dart. The two went head-to-head at the Roeun Open in April, with Boisson coming out on top with a 6-0, 6-3 upset win. However, it was a comment made by Dart during a changeover in the second set that caused controversy, as she was heard asking the umpire: "Can you ask her to to put on deodorant? She smells really bad." Dart was slammed for her comments and she later apologised in a statement on social media, writing: "I want to apologise for what I said on court today, it was a heat-of-the-moment comment that I truly regret. "That's not how I want to carry myself, and I take full responsibility. I have a lot of respect for Lois and how she competed today. I'll learn from this and move forward." Article continues below Boisson later made light of the incident as she shared an edited photo of her holding deodorant and told toiletries company Dove that they "need a collab".

Coco Gauff reaches the French Open semifinals
PARIS — Coco Gauff overcame 10 double-faults and the first set she's dropped in the tournament to beat Madison Keys 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-1 at the French Open on Wednesday, reaching the semifinals for the third time. It was a contest filled with plenty of mistakes by both Americans, who each has claimed one major championship. They combined for 101 unforced errors and just 40 winners across more than two hours under a closed roof at Court Philippe-Chatrier on a drizzly, chilly day. Nearly half of the games — 14 of 29 — featured breaks of serve. But from 4-all in the second set, Gauff held four times in a row while reeling off eight of the match's last nine games. She made two unforced errors in the last set, including just one double-fault. The No. 2-seeded Gauff won the 2023 U.S. Open and was the runner-up at the 2022 French Open. She'll play Thursday for a berth in another Grand Slam final, facing either No. 6 Mirra Andreeva or 361st-ranked French wild-card entry Loïs Boisson. The other women's semifinal is quite a matchup: three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek vs. No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. They advanced with quarterfinal victories Tuesday. It was Swiatek who stopped Gauff at Roland-Garros in the semifinals last year and in the final three years ago. "I have a lot more work left to do," said Gauff, who raised her arms overhead then spread them wide apart after the last point against Keys, "but I'm going to savor this one today." Gauff began particularly poorly, trailing 4-1 and twice standing just one point from a 5-1 deficit. Gauff bowed her head or sighed after some miscues. Then, suddenly, she got going, using her speed and instincts to stretch points until Keys — the Australian Open champion in January — missed. That helped Gauff get within a point of taking that set. But the 21-year-old based in Florida double-faulted three times in the tiebreaker, and soon was headed to the locker room to regroup. That set was sloppy. Gauff had seven winners to 21 unforced errors. Keys has 12 winners to 28 unforced errors, 19 of which arrived from her powerful forehand. "Her forehand is probably one of the best — if not the best — on tour. I was just trying my best to get it on the other side of the court," Gauff said. "I knew that I just had to be able to run today and as soon as the ball came short, just punish her for it." Repeatedly, Gauff scrambled this way or that to get her racket on a shot from Keys that against plenty of other players would end the point. And often enough, it worked well, leading to a miss by Keys, who occasionally admonished herself with a slap on her right leg. "With her ability to cover the court," Keys said, "you're going to have to win the point multiple times before it's actually over." The crowd offered more support to Gauff. There were chants in English of "Let's go, Coco! Let's go!" and in French of "Allez, Coco!" She ended Keys' 11-match Grand Slam winning streak and now can continue her own pursuit of a second major trophy.
