The name of Los Boisson was on Wednesday 4th June on the lips of every fan in Philippe-chatrier court. World 361 Scripted History by becoming the first place of an open era to achieve the semifinals of Roland Garros and the first French woman to do so since 2011.
Just a few days after the stunning third seed of Jessica Pegula in the 16th round of 22-year-old gave another inspired performance Knock Out Sixth Seed Mirra Andreeva. Unlike Monday’s exhausting three-set battle, Boisson packed his quarterfinals in straight sets and sent a Parisian crowd to ecstasy as she sank to court in tears of the joy-realization of a dream in front of a crowd of home crowd.
It was a tough evening for eighteen -year -old Andreeva, who fought against the guerrilla atmosphere. The crowd continued her mistakes and loudly supported Boisson, who remained composed, although it seemed that her opponent had lost his mind. Boisson remained focused and sealed the match 7-6 (6), 6-3 in two hours and eight minutes.
It is remarkable that Boisson won only one main draw on the WTA Tour before entering his first straw as a surrogate emblem. But with a victory over 10 best opponents, she turned her head through the tennis world. He has only been the third player since 1980 to achieve the semifinals on her debut Slam Main-Draw, joined the Legends Monica Seles (1989) and Jennifer Capriati (1990).
“It’s incredible. Thank you for supporting me like that. I have no words,” he told Boisson’s crowd who replied with a stormy applause.
“I ran a little too much because I was so tense early,” she said. “But in the first set I fought hard, which was so intense. At the beginning of the second I felt a little empty, but I hung there and finished the work.”
Boisson showed exceptional peace after watching 1-3 and then 3-5 in the opening set. She did not accuse, released the winners of her trademark to return to the match. In the second set, Andreev’s delay took full advantage of closing the famous victory.
Destiny denied her a chance to compete in her home Grand Slam last year. Just before she could debut in Roland Garros, she suffered a serious ACL injury. Boisson, who was included in the 160th year before this failure, fell within 300 years before her remarkable revival in Paris.
Boisson, who is now assured of a place inside the TOP 70 in the world, will become the new French No. 1 in female singles – a meteoric rise that few could predict.
In the second seed of Coco Gauff, it faces an impressive challenge, but due to its giant killing run, faith in Paris is stronger than ever.
When she entered the tournament, few people heard her name. On Friday, the crowd in the Philippe-Chamrier will scream at one of its-tendency star that captured the heart of French tennis.
