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.

- Any athlete who willfully looks at anti-Socal Media is not thinking well. Loser Bettors are going to shame you, curse at you, threaten you and potentially worse. Enter Internet chats & forums at your own risk -- and if you do, and it upsets you -- don't whine to the media about it.

- First she disses Gauff -- then she doubles-down and makes a scene on court because she didn't like Amanda's noise, etc. She was unnecessarily mean to Amanda in her post-match presser as well. Her nasty comments were far worse than her slight to Gauff. Saba is reverting back to her old nasty, Poor Loser self. Perhaps less intentional Fake Screaming and more Tennis? FYI: She never ever makes a peep during her practices so we know it's a ploy to distract. Ostapenko, on the other hand, does make the same noises on the practice courts. Therefor we know it's her 'thing' and not a lame act.mandoist18-07-2025

- Sorry?? Like, sorry you're losing?? Finally we see the old Sabalenka returning to the courts. Her naive and sarcastic little post-match "speeches" have fooled the masses (and those with no memory of her true 'personality'). Her play and several fortunate occasions of attrition cannot last forever -- and they are not. You will not be able to walk back your ridiculous snottyass remarks we saw on live television. No Tik Tok dance with Amanda is going to fool anyone. I hope she remains true to herself, and hopefully ignores making any follow-up PHONY APOLOGIES. You said what you said, and acted like a Queen (which you are not). Saba will remain #1 in theory because he has a wide point spread. However many of us have watched the gradual weak play this season. Just enough to win in most cases. But the decline will subside at some point, and she will settle somewhere in the Top 10. Sorry -- NOT sorry.mandoist11-07-2025
- If players are suffering from anti-Social Media abuse -- it's their own fault. Avoid it. If it's the stress of the new endless road life due to back-to-back tourneys, totally understand. First the body reaches its limits -- then comes the mental complexities. Pro Tennis has become like the music business. Corporate (WTA & ATP) will "love" you at the same time they use you while they can, then chew you up and spit you out.mandoist08-07-2025
