From obscurity to three consecutive victories, at Roland Garros, a new breakthrough in his career

Grand Slam tournaments are tennis tournaments at the highest level, and there has been no shortage of unknown players who have performed miracles at the highest level. The most talked about is the British qualifier Radurnu's feat of winning the US Open in 2021 with a wave of 10 consecutive wins. On the men's side, there is no shortage of them, such as American Sheldon who reached the quarterfinals of his first Grand Slam at the 2023 Australian Open with a wave of four straight wins. And at this year's French Open, there is also such a player who has made a new breakthrough in his career. So, who exactly is this player? What kind of breakthrough did she make? Today, let this article take you to take a look.



That player is France's Boisson, who was well outside the 320th place in the world rankings before the French Open. Although he won the Saint-Gedão Challenge this year, Boisson did not go unnoticed due to his low world ranking. Objectively speaking, it is probably not an exaggeration to describe this female tennis player as anonymous.



Not long ago, Boisson and his compatriots Rachona, Jean, Jacquemo, Parry, Paqui and others got a wild card for the French Open. However, in the first round, Parry lost to his opponent and stopped his progress. Although Rajona went to a tie-break in the first set, it was her opponent, Spanish qualifier Sergio Romero, who had the last laugh. Paqui, on the other hand, was reversed by Czech player Valentova in two sets in a row and was out of the tournament in a favorable situation. Still, Boisson was unfazed, as she won her first career Grand Slam victory over Belgium's Mertens in three sets and reached the second round alongside Jean and Jacquemo.



In the second round, Jean Jean was swept out by Australia's Kasatkina. Jacquemo defeated British's Parks in the last 32 of a Grand Slam in three sets to advance. With her encouragement, Boisson allowed Ukraine's Kalinina to win only three games in two sets. After the victory, Boisson reached the round of 32 of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. Jacmo and Boisson will meet in the third round of the French Open, so who will have the last laugh?



In this game, Boisson scored continuously as soon as he came up, taking the lead with a score of 6:3. However, in the second set, Jacquemo, who was not willing to be restrained, sent a duck egg to his opponent, and put himself and Boisson back on the same starting line. In the deciding set, the two battled fiercely, and at the crucial moment, Boisson withstood the pressure and had the last laugh 7-5, becoming the only local player to still be on the French Open draw while reaching the round of 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.



In the next round, Boisson's opponent is Pegula, the first sister of the United States, who has reached the Grand Slam final. In terms of strength and ranking, Pegula is far above Boisson. On the pitch, however, anything can happen. So, will Boisson be able to continue to create upsets? Let's wait and see. That's it for today, and it will continue tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
