The Surprise: Loïs Boisson from Côte-d’Or
If you haven't heard of Loïs Boisson yet, you soon will.
Hailing from Dijon, this remarkable 21-year-old has achieved the unimaginable: qualifying for the semi-finals of Roland-Garros. Yes, you read that right. Semi. Finals.
Entering the tournament quietly, Loïs has racked up victories with an Olympic calmness and a determination to win that few expected. Against higher-ranked and more experienced opponents, she has brought her A-game, fully embracing the "now or never" mindset.
And spoiler alert: it’s now.
With her explosive style, subtle smile, and tenacity, she’s starting to make a name for herself and perhaps even rewrite history. Dijon can already wave its flags; we have our racquet star!
Loïs Boisson, a Dijon pride that we will follow closely
It's not every day that a local athlete makes her mark in one of the most legendary tournaments in the world. And yet, Loïs Boisson has done it.
Trained in Dijon, she embodies this new generation of players who are hardworking, intuitive, and bold. And it’s working.
Plus, watching her play on the Parisian clay is a bit like Dijon being invited to the big leagues. We aren’t going to miss out on that.
So we wish her with all our hearts to go even further. To the very end? Why not. The best may still be yet to come.
