It was fantastic to play in front of this audience and feel such support. It was incredible, thank you! says Boisson.

The 22-year-old is ranked 361 in the world and entered the tournament through a wildcard. And she has screamed her way all the way to the semifinal. She is the highest ranked player in the semifinal at Roland Garros in 40 years.

In the fourth round, Boisson knocked out Jessica Pegula, ranked three in the world. In the semifinal, she meets the world's second, Coco Gauff.

My routines do not change, they are the same since the start of the tournament, says Boisson.

The 21-year-old American Gauff won against her compatriot Madison Keys with 2–1 in sets.

It means a lot to be in the semifinal again, especially after this tough match today. It was not easy. I will try to enjoy being in the semifinal, and then focus on the match tomorrow, says Gauff.
