Overview

• Both Loïs Boisson and Elsa Jacquemot entered Roland-Garros on wildcards and stand as the last remaining Frenchwomen in the singles draw.
• Loïs Boisson, ranked 361st, reached her first Grand Slam third round after overcoming a serious knee injury to beat Elise Mertens and Anhelina Kalinina.
• Elsa Jacquemot, ranked 138th, booked her spot in round three by defeating Maria Sakkari and Alycia Parks following a challenging transition from junior champion to the pro circuit.
• Their all-French clash guarantees a spot in the round of 16 for France at Roland-Garros, a stage not reached by a Frenchwoman since Varvara Gracheva in 2024.
• These unexpected deep runs provide a rare highlight for French women’s tennis, which currently has no players ranked inside the WTA top 90.
