French tennis fans are buzzing after 22-year-old Lois Boisson, ranked just No. 361 in the world, stormed into the semifinals of the 2025 French Open—an achievement no one predicted at the start of the tournament. Boisson, who entered Roland Garros as a wildcard, has become the first women’s wildcard in the Open Era to reach the French Open semifinals, and only the third woman in the past 40 years to make the final four in her Grand Slam debut.
Her journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Boisson defeated world No. Jessica Pegula in the fourth round, then stunned No. seed Mirra Andreeva with a 7-6 (6), 6-3 victory to book her spot in the semifinals Just last year, Boisson suffered a torn ACL that sidelined her for nine months, making her comeback and meteoric rise even more astonishing.
With this run, Boisson is set to break into the world’s Top 75 and become France’s new No. women’s player Her story has captured the imagination of the tennis world, drawing comparisons to legends like Jennifer Capriati and Monica Seles for her historic semifinal breakthrough.
All eyes are now on Boisson as she prepares for her next challenge, with fans wondering: how far can this French sensation go?
