It has been so long since the last time Lois Boisson appeared in an official match that people almost don't remember the earthquake she caused at the previous Roland Garros. The French player suffered several injuries, but there was more to it.

She has been sidelined for a total of seven months, waiting for a green light to return to competition, but all she encountered along the way were discomforts, doubts, and uncertainty. Lois Boisson spoke to AFP, and her statements have been reported by Eurosport France. She takes responsibility for her long absence but also points out some medical indications that turned out to be errors that hindered her proper recovery. After a long wait, tomorrow, the Mutua Madrid Open will finally see her back on the court, although it's worth listening to the woman who amazed the world by reaching the last semifinals of Roland Garros.

Return to the courts since September

"If I'm here, it's because I'm better. These have been very tough months, the toughest since I started playing tennis. I also handled them very badly mentally, but it's no coincidence that everything turned out this way. This process has taught me things, and I'm convinced it will help me in the future. I'm sure I can do good things in tennis. I'm happy to come out stronger and have redirected all of this."

The difficult management of unexpected success

"Unbeknownst to me, perhaps all of that did add a kind of stress, pressure, a feeling I wasn't used to living with. Let's say there was too much attention around me. It also emerged from the injuries, the fact that I couldn't do everything I could have done after Roland Garros."

Two injuries that have prevented her return

"The two leg injuries weren't serious, they were the typical ones everyone goes through. They resulted from playing many consecutive matches; it was entirely physical. However, this arm injury was unexpected, much more challenging to manage."

Lois Boisson explains the real reason for her lengthy absence

"There were quite a few medical errors; every time they announced new deadlines, they weren't real, or they weren't the times needed. From there, I had to read many false comments, like that I got the deadlines wrong or that I returned to training earlier than necessary. The reality is it made no sense to play a match because I wouldn't have been able to finish it."

This Tuesday, her first match of the year

"I have a good feeling; returning to the circuit is a joy, although I still think I need a little more time. This helps me continue with this healing process, so I have no specific expectations for this first round. I will step onto the court to win, to give my 100%. It will be a pleasure to return to the court to play tennis and, above all, to play without pain."
