Boisson Fils Humbert Mpetshi Perricard Roland Garros Santoro

Loïs Boisson is proudly representing France at this edition of Roland-Garros 2025. The player from Dijon has qualified for the quarterfinals after a prestigious victory against world No. 3 Jessica Pegula.

For Fabrice Santoro, while this run is excellent, it doesn’t address all the issues in French women’s tennis. He states: "Her run is unexpected, it’s really great.

But it doesn’t solve the problem in French women’s tennis. Even though we have Loïs reaching the quarterfinals against all odds, we’re still lacking players in the Top 100.

When you look at the younger generation, there isn’t an extremely strong core. On the men’s side, after the 4 Musketeers we had, there were two or three difficult years, but now we’re entering another strong decade with very good players like Giovanni (Mpetshi Perricard), Arthur (Fils), and Ugo (Humbert).

These are players who should perform at the highest level and are clearly on the rise.
