AN inspired Lois Boisson delighted Roland Garros as the French world No 361 downed Mirra Andreeva on Wednesday to set up a French Open semi-final against Coco Gauff.

Boisson, making her debut at a Grand Slam event, powered her way to a thrilling 7-6 (8/6), 6-3 victory on a raucous Court Philippe Chatrier to become the first Frenchwoman to reach the semi-finals since Marion Bartoli in 2011.

The 22-year-old, who was due to play at last year’s French Open but suffered a knee injury the week before the tournament, is the lowest-ranked woman to reach a major semi-final in 40 years.

“Tt was incredible to play in front of this crowd and feel support like that,” said Boisson, after hitting 24 win-ners past Russian sixth seed Andreeva to follow up her fourth-round win over world number three Jessica Pegula with an even more surprising victory.
