They just met at the Italian Open final before the French Open, where the Spaniard got the better of the world No. 1. They've had dramatic matches in the past at slams, most notably the 2022 U.S. Open quarterfinal that ended in the wee hours of the morning.

French Open is winding down as the tournament draw has already reached the semifinals. We should be in for a treat at Roland-Garros as the American Coco Gauff takes on the French Lois Boisson, playing in front of her home country crowd.

The 2025 French Open semifinals match between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek was as good as advertised. After a back-and-forth match, Sabalenka came out on top in three sets (7-6, 4-6, 6-0), advancing to the final.

The story of the 2025 French Open on the women's side has been Lois Boisson, as the wild card entered the tournament ranked 362nd in the world but has gone on a storybook run to become the first French woman since Marion Bartoli to reach the semifinals at Roland-Garros.

PARIS — As popular as Coco Gauff is, she knew full well that nearly all of the Court Philippe-Chatrier fans would be against her during the French Open semifinals Thursday. That’s because Gauff, an American, was taking on a French opponent — and one who came from nowhere, 361st-ranked Loïs Boisson.

Coco Gauff will get a second chance to win the French Open this weekend. Gauff, 21, defeated Loïs Boisson 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinals Thursday, propelling her to the second French Open final of her career so far.

Coco Gauff ended the run of French wildcard Lois Boisson to book a Roland Garros final against World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff, World No 2, produced a ruthless performance to defeat Boisson, a player ranked some 300 places below her but who had beaten back-to-back top-10 opponents to reach the semi-finals on her grand slam debut.

Boisson, ranked No. 361 in women's singles heading into the French Open women's semifinals, is the greatest underdog to win it all. Her odds to advance to the final sit at +350, with Coco Gauff favored to advance at -475.

French Open continues on Saturday, May 31, 2025 (5/31/25) in Paris, France. The tournament concludes on Sunday, June 8, 2025 (6/8/25).
