Mirra Miracle: World No.361 Lois Boisson makes history, stuns Andreeva to reach French Open semi-finals
WTAWednesday, 04 June 2025 at 16:03
Lois Boisson has made history as the first Frenchwoman into the semi-finals of the French Open since 2011. The wildcard has downed Mirra Andreeva 7-6, 6-3.
She is also the first wildcard to reach the semi-finals in the women’s singles draw and now faces Coco Gauff for a spot in the final.
Last year Boisson ascended to new heights and qualified for the French Open but a horror injury saw her out of the tournament and into surgery.
But she has made up for it this year dumping out the top 10 star after also disposing of Jessica Pegula in the previous round.
From 5-3 down and a set point down in the opener, she turned it around and had the chance to claim it herself before it went to a tiebreak which she edged out.
Andreeva gained a foothold in the second going 3-0 up and it looked for all the will in the world like the pressure would be cranked up again on Boisson.
But she rose to it. Andreeva did not win another game as Boisson ramped up the pressure in what was a horror show for the Russian who will know she let a golden chance slip.
Many would’ve been wondering how she handled the pressure facing Andreeva after dumping out Jessica Pegula but in truth, the same can be said next and she rose to it this time. Gauff will relish a good opportunity but it could well be an opponent like Pegula and Andreeva that is underestimated and it could be at her peril.

- As I posted elsewhere... Only way to settle these sort of disputes is with a naked mud-wrestling match at Center Court.

- 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
