From €130,000 to €440,000: Lois Boisson dream French Open run continues to pay dividends
WTAWednesday, 04 June 2025 at 13:15
French women’s tennis player Lois Boisson is going
through an incredible phase of her career. The 22-year-old is set to feature in
the quarterfinal of the French Open against Russia’s Mirra Andreeva.
Because of that, Boisson is set to receive a whopping sum of 440,000 Euros, which will be more than thrice what she managed to earn throughout her career since the start. Before coming to the second Grand Slam
of the year, the Dijon-born earned less than 130,000 Euros in her career. Boisson
started the competition brightly as she defeated current world number 24 Elise Mertens
with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
In the second round, she got the better of Anhelina Kalinina
in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-2. In the third round, Boisson defeated
fellow countrywoman Elsa Jacquemot with a score of 6-3, 0-6, 7-5. Her biggest
win came in the fourth round where she defeated the 2024 US Open runner-up
America’s Jessica Pegula with a score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Talking after the
match, Boisson admitted that she never thought about making it this far in a
Grand Slam, that too after beating one of the top contenders in the
competition.
“I [would]
not believe that if you tell me that two weeks ago," she said. "I
trust in myself, but for sure, if you say that, no, I can't believe. Now it's
that, and I'm so happy about it. Roland-Garros is a dream and it's a goal, so
being in the quarter-finals is already a step ahead. Obviously, it's absolutely
great for me to have such a run. I couldn't hope for anything better when I
came here. … It represents a lot to be in the quarter-finals here, and I hope
to go even further."
Boisson will now face Russia’s Mirra Andreeva, who cemented her spot in the last eight after beating Australia’s Daria Kasatkina in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-5.

- Maybe she's receiving hints that it's time to take a break if Gauff and suspended matches are too much for her.
mandoist19-06-2025 - Americans should be banned from competitive tennis. They are generally taller and have longer forearms. And of course, being a Wimbledon champion is wholly reliant on these two factors alone. Mental and physical preparation, training, mindset, level of fitness, tactics, competitor analysis etc. clearly have nothing to do with the match outcome. My position is borne out by the facts - of Wimbledon open women’s single champions, 29 have been American, whereas the whole of the rest of the world has only managed 27. This imbalance needs to be urgently addressed 🤣Paul10118-06-2025
- The general pattern has been Loser Bettors attacking people better than themselves through (anti)Social Media. The majority of threats and disgusting comments come from those who lose their lunch money, allowances, and rent money in online bets.mandoist17-06-2025
- Just realize the problem, then address the problem. Don't bullshit everyone (actually only yourself) for over a week and finally admit a simple mistake or misjudgement. It's never a good idea to try to justify shaky comments instead of owning them. Quicker one makes an admission of somewhat poor judgement, the sooner it goes away.mandoist17-06-2025

- BBC sports coverage blows anyway. Two most obvious reasons = They can't seem to shut their mouths often enough -- and they will bounce from one event to another at will. Not to mention show 90% of a sporting event and cut it short to go to regularly schedule programs! In short, BBC sucks.mandoist14-06-2025
- Jimmy, how much more pause are you talking about? By the time the match ends to the time they stage is erected and they mount it to accept the award is about 10 minutes. All players are not at the same maturity level. Culture and one's upbringing has a LOT to do with how players each respond to a loss. Some players just need to learn how to exercise self-control. It isn't everything that you want to say that you should say.Rapunzel11-06-2025
