She started as the world number 361, entering the main draw thanks to a wildcard from the organization. Nearly two weeks later, Lois Boisson has conquered the world with her tennis, a game with answers to everything and no problem in taking the match to a more physical level. The crowd has pushed her to give her all on the court, and now we can only wait and see what the future holds for a player who has already shown in this Roland Garros 2025 what she is capable of.

Her adventure in Paris reached the semifinals, where a superior Coco Gauff dominated her despite trying everything. The French player, who will wake up on Monday in the 65th position of the WTA Ranking, attended a press conference moments after her defeat to review a dream tournament: "It's great to be in the semifinal, but I'm a bit disappointed with today's result. She played very, very well. Today her level was too good for me, and that's it."

Boisson rules out physical problems

"Today I had the feeling of running all over the court, so it was very tough. I felt good at the beginning of the match, but obviously I had to start running right away, so it was tough as the match progressed, but today I didn't have any particular physical problems."

Disappointed, but with positive conclusions

"Every week we play new tournaments, and a lot of things can happen. So, in that sense, we have to try to be positive every week to have confidence in ourselves. This week has been very positive for me, I can't deny that. I couldn't make my game work, but apart from today's match, which wasn't entirely positive, the tournament as a whole has been very positive, and even today is all positive, although it's disappointing, but it was too tough for me. I had never experienced such an intense week, both physically and emotionally. So I think it's very important to take time to recover."

Changes in her near future

"My schedule will change. It won't be what was planned initially, considering my next ranking, but for now, I'm not going to make any particular changes, because I believe that if I'm here today it's because things are working well, and I don't see why I should change much."

Did the injury she experienced make her consider giving up?

"Yes, at first. We know that that specific injury is very complicated, but at first, yes, I lost faith a little because I didn't know what would come next, and I didn't know things could go so well. At one point, I was very worried, but as the rehabilitation progressed, I realized that things were improving. Today, I am super happy about what is happening."
