Mats Wilander and Tim Henman have reacted to Lois Boisson\u2019s sensational upset win against Mirra Andreeva at the 2025 French Open.<\/p>\n
French wildcard Boisson<\/a>\u00a0produced the performance of her career to down sixth-ranked Andreeva 7-6(6), 6-3 in the quarter-finals at the Paris Grand Slam.<\/p>\n While Boisson stunned world No 3 Jessica Pegula in three sets in the last 16, her latest win was arguably her most impressive yet given\u00a0Andreeva\u2019s immense talent and clay-court pedigree.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old was ranked 361st prior to the tournament, and she is the first wildcard to reach the semi-finals of the French Open women\u2019s singles event in the Open Era.<\/p>\n Boisson will take on world No 2 and 2023 US Open champion Coco Gauff<\/a> in the last four at Roland Garros on Thursday.<\/p>\n Speaking on TNT Sports, three-time French Open champion Wilander made some big statements about Boisson\u2019s level and her chances against Gauff.<\/p>\n \u201cShe was absolutely brilliant. Technically, when you watch her play, she is really good,\u201d assessed the Swede.<\/p>\n \u201cHer forehand is incredibly strong \u2014 she puts more spin on it than the average top 50 man, which takes serious strength, and she has it. She runs and moves unbelievably well. She has a beautiful, sliced backhand, she can hit aces, and she quite literally has the whole game.<\/p>\n Lois Boisson +296 in WTA Rankings with extraordinary Mirra Andreeva French Open upset<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The 5 women to reach first Grand Slam semi-final on major debut: Boisson joins Evert, Seles<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cYou wonder whether it\u2019s just injuries that have held her back, or if it\u2019s more of a mental thing. Hopefully, this performance will give her the confidence she needs, because to me, she\u2019s a top 20 player on any surface.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s perfect for her [playing again tomorrow], she\u2019s riding a wave. At normal tournaments you play every day, normally there or four days in a row if you do well. So, I think it\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n \u201cI actually think she has a really good shot at beating Coco Gauff \u2014 because she was not that great today either.\u201d<\/p>\n Henman, a former world No 4, highlighted the injury nightmare Boisson endured to get to this year\u2019s French Open and hailed her latest display.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just been an incredible story, this fortnight. After an ACL injury last year, she was out of the equation \u2014 and the game \u2014 for nine months,\u201d said the Brit.<\/p>\n \u201cThe way she\u2019s come back and followed up the Jessica Pegula victory was remarkable. I thought, emotionally and technically, she wasn\u2019t going to get close to winning this match, but she\u2019s just been incredible.<\/p>\n \u201cShe handled it amazingly well. To come up against Andreeva in this environment was impressive. The way she competed was a phenomenal effort \u2014 mentally, physically, and technically.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s straight into the semi-finals tomorrow, and that could actually work in her favour.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch TNT Sports\u2019 and Eurosport\u2019s exclusive coverage live from Roland Garros<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n READ NEXT:\u00a0<\/strong>How Coco Gauff set impressive French Open record and followed in Serena Williams\u2019 footsteps<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The post \u2018Lois Boisson is a top 20 player on any surface\u2019 \u2013 former world No 1 amid French Open run<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mats Wilander and Tim Henman have reacted to Lois Boisson\u2019s sensational upset win against Mirra Andreeva at the 2025 French Open.
