Overview

• Loïs Boisson, ranked 361st and playing with a wild card, defeated Elsa Jacquemot 6-3, 0-6, 7-5 after battling knee pain to advance to the round of 16.
• Her breakthrough ends an 11-year drought of French wild cards reaching the second week at Roland-Garros, the last being Pauline Parmentier in 2014.
• Boisson returned from a serious knee ligament injury sustained last year that had sidelined her just before her first Grand Slam main-draw appearance.
• Roland-Garros director Amélie Mauresmo described the result as “a beautiful surprise” amid a period with no French woman ranked inside the top 90.
• She will next face third seed Jessica Pegula as France’s sole remaining singles player at the tournament.
