Overview

  • Boisson, ranked 361st globally, defeated third seed Jessica Pegula on Court Philippe-Chatrier to reach her first Grand Slam quarterfinal.
  • The victory guarantees the 20-year-old at least $500,000 in prize money and marks her first win over a top-5 opponent.
  • This marks her main-draw Grand Slam debut after receiving a wild card at Roland Garros.
  • She returned this season following a nine-month layoff recovering from an ACL tear.
  • In April at the Rouen Open, Boisson shrugged off Harriet Dart’s on-court ‘deodorant’ jibe and later accepted Dart’s apology with good humour.
