French Open: Lois Boisson’s Fairytale Run Continues With Stunning Upset Over Pegula
Boisson, ranked No. 361, became the lowest-ranked woman to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal in eight years — since Kaia Kanepi’s 2017 US Open run. The home crowd watched in rapt disbelief as the young Frenchwoman, battling back from an ACL injury just a year ago, delivered a composed, courageous, and calculated performance to take down one of the WTA’s most consistent forces.
The first set went Pegula’s way, as the American’s trademark discipline and timing wore down the Grand Slam debutante. But Boisson, armed with a topspin-heavy forehand and tactical nous that belied her inexperience, fought fire with fire. Using the heaviest forehand topspin among all remaining women in the draw, she dragged Pegula into deep baseline exchanges that increasingly tilted in her favour.
