Lois Boisson has experienced a fairy tale and a real nightmare in the last twelve months. In a few weeks, it will be a year since her historic participation in Roland Garros, where she reached the semifinals. However, since September, she has been dealing with a series of injuries, misdiagnoses, and incorrect timelines that kept her off the court until last week at the Mutua Madrid Open, where she fell in her debut match against Peyton Stearns.

Nevertheless, the current world No. 43 in the WTA rankings stated in an interview with L’Equipe that her return to the court was more a need to be back on the circuit than being fully prepared.

"We made the decision to go, but honestly, it was to go without really knowing how things would turn out. I went because I needed to return to the circuit, but I wasn't completely prepared. So, I decided to go back home to start training at 100%," Boisson affirmed.

In fact, she had planned to participate in a WTA 125K tournament between Madrid and Rome, but her discomfort at the Caja Mágica made her change her mind, stop, and head to the Italian capital: "I went back home to train. The plan was to play a WTA 125K tournament between the two, but it didn't feel right to me. I wasn't ready; I was recovering from an arm injury and still not 100% ready to play matches, so the goal was to get back to training and start training at 100%, something I hadn't been able to do before Madrid."

However, she is positive about her upcoming adventure in Rome, compared to her time in Madrid: "The difference is that we have finally had real training sessions after several months. I feel more prepared, and as the weeks go by, I will be even better. Currently, we are adjusting things for my arm since the injury is still somewhat complicated."

Both the arm injury and previous injuries in both legs have prevented the French number one from enjoying a career that gained great momentum with her unforgettable performance at Roland Garros. However, she struggles to look back fondly on those two weeks in Paris, especially considering what came after.

"I won't lie; right now I have mixed feelings, in the sense that all I want is to be on the courts playing. I know I can achieve great things, but it's a mix of emotions because I feel that it's still complicated. It's a bit tough to have experienced that last year and come this year in completely different, and not precisely good, circumstances," laments Lois Boisson, who will return to the place where she made herself known in three weeks but in a completely different situation.
