In the upcoming semi-finals, Sinner will face either three-time French Open champion Novak Djokovic or Germany’s third seed Alexander Zverev. Sinner, the first Italian man to reach six Grand Slam semi-finals, showcased his dominance by defeating Bublik in straight sets.
Boisson’s remarkable journey continued as she pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament by defeating Andreeva in a thrilling match.

The 22-year-old underdog expressed her ambitions of winning the title, stating, “Every tennis player dreams of winning a Slam – and for a French player, Roland Garros even more so.” Boisson’s powerful forehand and determined playstyle kept Andreeva on the back foot throughout the match.
As Boisson’s fairy-tale run continues, she will face off against 2023 US Open champion Coco Gauff in the semi-finals. Gauff secured her spot by overcoming Australian Open champion Madison Keys in a match filled with unforced errors. The clash between Boisson and Gauff promises to be a thrilling encounter.
