Everything has a beginning and an end, and Lois Boisson's dream at Roland Garros came to an end because of a Coco Gauff who played a very complete match. The French player once again leaned on the Philippe Chatrier stands to extend her historic participation in Paris, but the American was not intimidated either by the crowd or by the story of the French player's perseverance. The world number two came out with a very clear objective: to reach her second final at Roland Garros. And she achieved it after dominating the French hope from start to finish with a score of 6-1, 6-2, in an hour and 10 minutes. Boisson's participation ended, which will always be remembered, while Gauff maintains her goal of winning her second Grand Slam. And, whether by coincidence or not, she will try to do it against the same player she defeated for her first major title, the world number one, Aryna Sabalenka.

Coco Gauff stepped onto the Philippe Chatrier court with headphones on. It's a recurring habit for her, but it was also a clear message: 'you can cheer for your player as much as you want, but I am in my own world and you won't disturb me.' And this mindset quickly translated to the court. Despite facing the great revelation of the tournament and the new French hope, the American was not intimidated and broke in the first game of the match.

She wouldn't be surprised by Boisson or the French crowd

Unperturbed, the Atlanta native knew that Boisson's matches were roller coasters and that the resilient French player clung to the court, gradually sapping the morale of her opponents with the crowd's warmth. This was how she defeated Jessica Pegula (world number three) and Mirra Andreeva (number six), but Gauff had learned the lesson and broke for the second time to lead 4-0.

Still, the French player showed that her presence in the Roland Garros semifinals was no mere coincidence. Warming up, her forehand, which generates more spin than half of the top 50 players in the women's and men's circuits, started to kick in.

But the focused American was immune to it all, and even the constant support of the French crowd posed no obstacle as she claimed the first set 6-1 in 37 minutes.

Boisson did not give up, aware that she might never have a similar opportunity in her career. She had a break point to take the lead in the second set and restart her momentum. But Gauff knew the trick, held her serve, and to quell any rebellion, broke the French player's serve.

The French player was on the verge, but if she was going down, she would go down fighting. She recovered the break to give one final gift to the devoted fans. Gauff quickly accepted her mistake, stayed focused, and instead of doubts arising, the determination of a champion emerged.

She broke Boisson's serve again, seeing her incredible Roland Garros journey coming to an end. Gauff didn't slow down, and finally, after an hour and 10 minutes, she let out her first scream, a cry of victory (6-1, 6-2). The world number two ended the dream of all French tennis and now aims at her next and final target: Aryna Sabalenka.
