Overview
- Boisson opens her comeback Tuesday at the WTA 1000 in Madrid against Peyton Stearns, with a possible round‑two meeting with world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
- The French No. 1 has not played since late September 2025, when she retired in the third round at the Beijing WTA 1000.
- She said repeated medical errors set unrealistic recovery timelines and led to several aborted returns, including a planned stop in Rouen.
- Boisson detailed a right‑forearm injury that mixed tendon inflammation and a tear with an aponeurosis detachment known as crossing syndrome, which kept her from using a racket for three months and weighed on her mentally.
- She arrives with new coach Hendrick Vleeshouwers and treats Madrid as a tune‑up for Roland‑Garros, where the current world No. 46 broke through last year and now carries France’s top ranking.
