The second of the two women’s French Open semi-finals will be staged at Roland Garros on Thursday, June 5.

Lois Boisson vs. Coco Gauff Preview

Boisson’s Route to the Final

There is still hope of a home success at the French Open this year, as outsider Lois Boisson has surpassed all expectations to reach the final four. The 22-year-old has already eliminated three players at Roland Garros, including third-seed Jessica Pegula in the fourth round.

However, Boisson saved her best performance to date for the previous round, dominating Mirra Andreeva to win in straight sets. Despite being lowly ranked, the manner of that performance means that it would be unwise to rule out the French star from making more history in Paris this weekend.

Gauff’s Route to the Final

American star Coco Gauff is the current favorite to win the French Open title this year, mainly due to the fact that two big hitters collide in the other semi-final, with the Sabalenka vs. Swiatek showdown set for earlier in the day. Gauff has cruised through to this stage of the competition, dropping just a single set in five matches.

She overcame her toughest challenge to date against Madison Keys in the quarterfinals, battling back from a set down to overcome her compatriot. Her calmness under pressure deserves huge respect, and there is every chance that she could resume her dominance at Roland Garros on Thursday.

Head-to-Head Record

This week’s semi-final between Gauff and Boisson will be the first meeting between the stars on the WTA Tour.
