World number 361 Lois Boisson continued her fairytale run at the French Open with a straight-set quarter-final victory over sixth seed Mirra Andreeva.
Boisson, who entered the draw as a wildcard, has now beaten three seeds en route to the semi-finals following her 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 triumph on a packed Court Philippe Chatrier. The Frenchwoman was set to be a wildcard at Roland Garros last year but had to withdraw after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament in her knee.

But 12 months on, she becomes the first player in the Open era to reach the women’s singles semi-finals at the French Open as a wildcard, and the first French semi-finalist since Marion Bartoli in 2011. World number two Coco Gauff awaits Boisson in the last four after the American came from a set down to beat compatriot Madison Keys 6-7 (6-8) 6-4 6-1 earlier yesterday.
