French Lois Boisson Wins Maiden WTA Title in Hamburg

French tennis player Lois Boisson captured her first WTA singles title at the Hamburg Ladies Open, marking a significant milestone in her breakthrough season. Seeded fifth, Boisson overcame Hungary's Anna Bondar in a tense clay-court final with a 7-5, 6-3 win, coming back from early deficits in both sets. This victory follows Boisson's impressive run to the semifinals at Roland-Garros and her rapid rise in the WTA rankings from 361 to inside the Top 50 within two months. Despite battling a left thigh injury, she displayed resilience and tactical skill, including effective drop shots and strong serves, to secure her maiden WTA trophy. Boisson is the first French woman to win a WTA title on the main stage since Caroline Garcia in 2022, and this Hamburg win adds to her earlier 2024 Saint-Malo title. The tournament occurs between Wimbledon and the hardcourt season, with the ATP and WTA tours moving to Washington next week in preparation for the US Open.
