On Wednesday, the remarkable journey of Lois Boisson Roland Garros continued, because the French representative emblem No. 361 amazed the sixth seed of Mirra Andreeva 7-6 (6), 6-3 to secure a place in the semifinal of women.
Boisson caused the greatest upset of the tournament when the seed no. 3 Jessica Pegula shocked in the quarterfinals. She supported this stunning victory by overcoming a young Russian teenager in a tense two-hour battle under the roof of Philippe-Chatrier.
Boisson scripted history by becoming the first surplus sign in the open era to achieve the semifinals of the singles of the French Open Women. Her incredible running now guarantees her rise at least world 61 in the ranking. She also became the first French woman from Marion Bartoli in 2011 to achieve the semi -finals of Roland Garros.
French Open Day 11 Live Update
Before Roland Garros, Boisson, never faced an opponent who was placed inside the top 50, with her adversary to the world’s 60’s 60 Moyuka Uchijima at the beginning of this year. The 22-year-old earned her place in the main draw through the surplus coat of arms when he missed his debut last year due to torn ACL. Boisson also made subtitles before Harriet Dart’s opponent engulfed her notes about her during the match – the moment Boisson later dealt with on social media.
At the beginning of the day Coco Gauff fought into the semifinals with a hard fight 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-1 victories over colleagues American Madison Keys in a match remarkable for his high number of mistakes. Both players joined for more than 100 unforced errors, and Gauff benefits from 10 double Keys.
Gauff, the world 2, and the finalist here in 2022, will now face Boisson or Andreeva for the place in the finals of Roland Garros. The 21 -year -old woman admitted that she had to adjust her game in the middle of the match to handle Keys’ fast and low shots.
“I’m glad to go through this match today. I have a lot more work and I’ll be ready tomorrow,” Gauff said. “It’s hard to play against her because he hits the ball so fast and so low. I just tried to fight for every point.”
Gauff also became the youngest woman by Martin Hingis (1995-2000) to achieve 25 main winnings in Roland Garros and emphasize her rapid rise to the Grand Slam.
