Boisson Reaches Roland-Garros Round of 16 for the First Time After Epic Battle Against Fellow Countrywoman Jacquemot

After a dominant first set (6-3), Boisson experienced pain in her left knee, requiring a physio visit and leading to a loss in the second set with a harsh 6-0 scoreline. The third and final set turned into a real battle between the two players, with intense baseline rallies. Though Boisson served for the match at 5-4, she gave herself a scare by losing her service game.

The 22-year-old player managed to dig deep and ultimately overcame her compatriot after 2 hours and 22 minutes of play (6-3, 0-6, 7-5). Injured last year just days before the tournament, Boisson endured long, difficult months due to an ACL tear. She has now taken her revenge by qualifying for the round of 16 at Roland-Garros for the first time.

For a spot in the quarterfinals, the Frenchwoman will face American and world No. 3 Pegula.
