Boisson Reaches Roland Garros Semi-Finals

French wildcard Loïs Boisson, ranked No. 361, made history at the 2025 French Open by reaching the women’s singles semi-finals, the first Frenchwoman to do so at Roland Garros since 2011 and the lowest-ranked semi-finalist in 40 years. Boisson defeated world No. 6 Mirra Andreeva in straight sets after earlier upsets over No. 3 Jessica Pegula and 24th seed Elise Mertens. Returning from a major ACL injury just a year ago, Boisson is the first wildcard and first debutant since 1989 to reach the semi-finals. Her remarkable run has vaulted her into the top 100 and earned her a significant prize money boost. The French crowd’s support has fueled her emotional victories. She will next face world No. 2 Coco Gauff for a place in the final.
