Lois Boisson's stunning French Open run, one year after Roland Garros heartache
ROLAND GARROS, PARIS — One year ago, Loïs Boisson had her tennis dream dashed. After tearing through the third rung of professional women's tennis, the French Tennis Federation (FFT) awarded Boisson a wild card for the French Open. A week before, at a minor tournament in Paris, Boisson tore her anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee and missed nine months of tennis. She didn't even watch the tournament on television. Advertisement Twelve months after the pain, Boisson was on Court Philippe-Chatrier, soaking in the adoration of a French crowd. She upset Jessica Pegula, the world No. 3, to reach the French Open quarterfinals. She is the first French woman to reach the last eight at Roland Garros since Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic in 2017, after beating Pegula 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. 'I don't know what to say,' Boisson told the crowd in French on court. 'I knew before the match that there was a possibility, but I knew that she was very tough … I gave my all and in the end I won.' Boisson is the world No. 361, 358 places below Pegula, and she looked a little overawed by the occasion in the first set, as Pegula's relentless accuracy and consistency from the baseline ground her down and drew her into mistakes. Boisson couldn't read the American's drop shots and was often scrambling to no avail after being pushed further and further to the back of the court. But Boisson did not wilt, and the slow filling-up of the lower bowl of Chatrier was a barometer for how she worked her way into the match. Boisson figured out that she could make Pegula hesitate in coming to the net, with a combination of drop shots and lobs that left the American in two minds. Advertisement 'In the beginning, even though there weren't many, you can still hear them on center court. But for the third set, it was full. It was incredible,' she said in her news conference. Boisson said she felt relaxed on one of the biggest courts in the sport. She's much more used to smaller venues, clubs with a few decent courts or dedicated tournament venues where spectators sit almost in the tramlines and might peer through wire fences, hoping to glimpse a player ready to break into the top tier of the sport. Boisson, like Victoria Mboko of Canada and Tereza Valentová of Czechia, is a breakthrough player at this Grand Slam. But the more important thing she shares with Mboko and Valentová, both 18 to Boisson's 22, is the accumulated confidence of a winning streak against players in her own wheelhouse. Playing the world No. 3 on Court Philippe-Chatrier is not like playing an ITF Tennis Tour event on the third rung of professional tennis in the middle of France. But winning is winning is winning. Boisson's streak just came a year before theirs. Before the ACL injury, she was 31-7 in ITF events in 2024. She was 14-6 going into the French Open, with 13 ITF wins and one WTA Tour win against Harriet Dart in Rouen, the site of the ugly comment from Dart that sent Boisson's name around the online world. She's 18-6 now. Winning is winning is winning. Advertisement She had harnessed that confidence throughout the second set, staying with Pegula in a situation in which it would have been easy to fall away. At 4-4, the pressure started to tell — for the American. Pegula missed two groundstrokes she will likely never miss at a major again, before Boisson cracked a backhand crosscourt to take the set. After the match, Pegula said she wasn't surprised by how Boisson played, with her heavy topspin forehand and the foot speed to access it from her backhand corner, while still being able to get back across the other side of the court when Pegula swung for the space. 'All she wants to do is hit forehands,' Pegula said. 'She's really good at moving. She's really fast, so she's really good at running around to get her forehand and, you know, also covering the forehand side. Advertisement Yeah, she hits it pretty heavy. I mean, super high and heavy when she wants to, when she needs to get back in the point, and then she's able to use her dropshot and slice.' Riding a wave of tricolores and chants of 'Loïs,' Boisson broke Pegula in the first game of the third set, but the American came back to reel off three games as Boisson went from sparkling to flat — and the crowd did too. But at 4-4, just as in the second set, her combination of high, heavy spin and elite redirection on her forehand — dragging Pegula this way and that — put more doubts in the American's mind. She missed a backhand from the middle of the court at deuce, and a point later, Boisson was serving for the match. With Boisson down 30-40, both players tightened. Pegula waifed a backhand over the net and then hit a clever short, angled forehand, but Boisson eked it over and the ball died at Pegula's feet. The American earned a second break point, but the crowd rose to Boisson again. A drop-shot-lob combination spinning over Pegula's head — the play that had given her a foothold in the match in the first place — brought the crowd to its feet and saw Boisson raise her arms for noise for the first time. Advertisement By the final game, Court Philippe-Chatrier was almost full. Word moved around the ticket-holders, likely waiting for Novak Djokovic's match to follow this one, that one of their own was doing something special. Another break point. Another drop shot. A flick from Pegula that dropped wide, the American leaning on the net in disbelief. A net cord off a Pegula return sent Boisson scrambling forward to a ball she somehow dug out. She played the next shot, a volley off a weak lob, like she wanted it to land on a pillow, not some clay. Pegula got to it but could only net. On her first match point, Boisson sent a forehand inside-in and raised her arms to a roar that shook Chatrier. It was Boisson's roar after the handshake, arms out and screaming into the sky, that made the past 12 months melt into air. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.

Gauff sails into French Open quarter-finals
Coco Gauff is through to her ninth major quarter-final [Getty Images] French Open 2025 Dates: 25 May-8 June Venue: Roland Garros Coverage: Live radio commentaries across 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds, plus live text commentaries on the BBC Sport website and app World number two Coco Gauff continued her pursuit of a first French Open singles title with another impressive straight-sets victory to reach the quarter-finals. The American, 21, dismantled Russian 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-0 7-5 in Paris. Advertisement The opening set lasted 29 minutes, with Gauff dropping just five points across the first five games. It is the fifth consecutive year 2022 runner-up Gauff has reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. She will face a stern test in the next round when she takes on compatriot and Australian Open champion Madison Keys. Seventh seed Keys beat fellow American Hailey Baptiste 6-3 7-5 to progress. Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva also progressed to the last eight in straight sets. The sixth seed defeated Australian 17th seed Daria Kasatkina 6-3 7-5 and will play French wildcard Lois Boisson, who stunned world number three Jessica Pegula, next. 'Little Miss Mature' Gauff to face compatriot Keys Gauff made a commanding start against Alexandrova but came under pressure as she served for the first set. Advertisement She had to withstand five break points in a sixth game lasting almost 10 minutes before she eventually converted her third set point. Gauff was the first to face break points in a competitive second set but struck first against an improving opponent to lead 4-3. Alexandrova, competing in the fourth round in Paris for the first time, offered resistance with an immediate response - but Gauff finished the stronger and sealed victory with a run of three straight games. Gauff, described recently by compatriot Frances Tiafoe as 'Little Miss Mature', said: "Most people do say I'm mature. I feel like playing tennis forces you to grow up faster. Advertisement "When I was in school, I would always be the first one to class. I remember getting on the yellow for the behaviour chart once, and that was like the worst day of my life. "I'm definitely someone that prides myself on being a good example." Gauff claimed a fourth consecutive straight-set win at this year's tournament, as she became the youngest player to reach as many as five women's singles quarter-finals at a single major since Venus Williams at the 2001 US Open. The 2023 US Open champion has lost three of her five meetings with upcoming opponent Keys, including their only match on clay in Madrid last year. Advertisement Keys ended her wait for a first major title at the Australian Open in January, having previously lost in the US Open final in 2017. "I remember meeting Coco for the first time. She was so young and I knew that she was going to be pretty dominant pretty quickly," Keys, 30, said. "Even to this day, I'm always so impressed by the way that she handles the pressure and all of it at such a young age. "It's one of the things that I think she has done a phenomenal job at." 'I hate playing her' - Andreeva battles past Kasatkina Mirra Andreeva reached the French Open semi-finals last year [Getty Images] At 18, Andreeva is the youngest player to reach back-to-back women's singles quarter-finals at Roland Garros since Martina Hingis in 1998. Advertisement And she did so with victory against an opponent she admitted she does not like to practise with, let alone face for a place in a major quarter-final. Andreeva edged a close first set with an assured service game after she broke Kasatkina's serve in the eighth game. She then battled back impressively from 5-3 down in the second set, winning four straight games to close out the match. "It was a hell of a match," said Andreeva, who lost to Kasatkina in the Ningbo final last year in China. "Honestly I'm so so happy I won, I hate playing against her. "We practise a lot and even practice is a torture for me." Advertisement

'The Better Sister' Ending, Explained
Amazon's latest murder mystery show The Better Sister dropped on May 29 and if you also managed to blow through it all in a single day then welcome, we have lots to discuss. In the last few seconds of the penultimate episode, we ended with Nicky (Elizabeth Banks) admitting she was the one who killed Adam (gasp!). She said she did it to keep Chloe (Jessica Biel) safe, knowing the violence Adam was capable of. So what happened in the fallout of that admission? Let's break down that dramatic season finale. The episode starts jumping back in time to the night of the murder. Nicky is in her car, watching Adam from outside the house. Once she sees him go inside, she approaches the house and rings the doorbell. Nicky walks right inside asking for Chloe and she and Adam start arguing. He threatens to call the cops and Nicky tells him to go right ahead so that she can tell them everything he's been doing to Chloe. She also tells him that Ethan knows too. Enraged, he grabs Nicky and they start physically fighting. Nicky tries to leave but Adam grabs her again and pushes her against the wall and he starts to strangle her. Nicky manages to pull out her pocket knife and stabs him. Adam falls to the floor and Nicky takes off running. Cut to 12 hours earlier and Nicky is at Adam's mother's house where she's helping to take care of her. She gets a call from Ethan and he tells her about what he saw with his dad choking and shoving Chloe. He also says it wasn't the first time he's hurt her. Nicky angrily leaves the house in a bit of a hurry but notably leaves her phone behind, we assume so she can't be tracked. And cut back to the present where Nicky has just told Chloe the truth. Nicky says she's worried Detective Guidry isn't going to stop until she's locked up. She also lets Chloe in on the fact she still has the knife and Adam's gun. Chloe tells her to let her hold onto the knife for now. Nicky's suspicions aren't too far off. Even though the cops realize Adam's mom has a criminal record and know Adam was working with the FBI as a possible informant on his client (and apparently evil company), Gentry Group, Guidry seems dead set on getting Nicky's DNA to see if it matches the crime scene. Chloe sends Nicky out for a hike with Ethan and tells her to keep her phone on. After a quick call with Catherine about how a book from Chloe and her sister could be a big hit, there's a loud bang at the door. It's Jake, and he's flipping out because he got fired by Bill and is panicking because he can't get the FBI agent, Olivero, the files they want. And what is it that they want? Proof of how Gentry was able to build things so quickly and cheaply. As it turns out, the answer is human trafficking and indentured servitude. Jake tells Chloe that the law firm helped Gentry build out their holding structure. Chloe says Adam's computer, and any proof he would have had, has been wiped. But she's willing to be he kept a paper trail somewhere. After, in an attempt to mess with Olivero and slow his roll, Chloe calls an FBI hotline and reports him for sexually inappropriate and aggressive behavior. Out on their hike, Ethan says that he's realized he's mad at his mom for choosing his dad over Nicky. He asks Nicky is she's going to stay around or go back to Ohio, but Nicky isn't sure. She tells him that not a day has gone by where she didn't want to be there with him, but it wasn't up to her. Chloe is looking all through her house trying to find the documents Adam may or may not have hidden. After checking the safe and just about every other place she can think of, she looks at the safe again and realizes it has a false bottom. Underneath is a big file folder and a tape recorder. Jackpot. Bill, meanwhile, gets to his office building and Detective Bowen is there wanting to talk to him about Gentry. Bill essentially tells him to get the hell out but Bowen just says he'll be back with a subpoena. Bill decides he's going to go work from home, which, like, understandable. But once he's at home, Chloe shows up. She says she wants to apologize for the other day and hands him all the files Adam had stashed on Gentry. She says she wants nothing to do with it and wants them off her hands. Bowen, meanwhile, is out at a restaurant and gets a courier delivery of a folder. We don't see what's in it but he calls someone and says he's got something big, so we can only assume it's a copy of the Gentry files. Chloe's cyber security guy worked his magic and dug up the file on Detective Guidry and the man in the wheelchair that she visited. It has all the deets on how she beat up and permanently injured the wrong guy and how it was covered up by the police department. Guidry is still out there doing her thing, and she shows up at Adam's mom's house. For whatever reason, Adam's mom starts letting it all fly and tells Guidry about Nicky leaving her phone there the day of the murder and how it was Nicky who told her about Adam being stabbed. Guidry asks her to sign a statement with those facts in it and she starts to realize what Guidry is getting at and tells her she "hasn't told her shit." Nicky, with the newly uncovered documents about Guidry in hand, goes to Catherine and asks her to publish a story based on them. Catherine mentions the book to Nicky and she has no idea what she's talking about, meaning Chloe clearly hasn't told her about the book idea at all. Bowen gives the files he received to Agent Olivero, giving the FBI agent the info he needs against Gentry and their co-conspirators, which includes Bill. A warrant is issued to search Bill's home office and the police start going through his things. While that's happening, Guidry calls her boss to tell him about what Adam's mom said, and how Nicky knew Adam had been stabbed before that was public information. Unfortunately, it's a little too late for her because the captain tells her to check the news, and the story about her coverup is already out there. He says she's going to have to be taken off the case and put on leave. He's also put a stop to the DNA tests she requested, since personnel on leave can't make tech requests. He also tells her they've already got another person of interest in the case. Ethan and Nicky are driving home from their day out and Ethan says he wondered if he was supposed to be in jail, like maybe he deserved it. He tells her that on the night of the murder, he came home and saw his dad dead on the floor. He thought his mom did it and he wanted to protect her so he staged the place to look like a break-in. He then tells Nicky that if she's leaving, he wants to go with her. Once they get back home, Nicky tells Chloe about Ethan wanting to come with her. Chloe doesn't understand why Nicky even wants to leave. Then Nicky tells her that she knows about the book idea and wants to know where Chloe's loyalties lie. Chloe says that Nicky and Ethan are all there is to her life and that Nicky has no idea how much she missed her. On the news, Chloe and Nicky see that Bill was arrested and the police seem to believe he's connected to Adam's murder. We cut to a scene showing Chloe planting the pocket knife at Bill's home during her visit, so we have her to thank for that. Later, Nicky and Chloe are sitting on the beach in front of a bonfire smoking cigarettes. They lay down in the sand and say their (kinda morbid) family prayer one last time.
