French Open shock: Pegula sent crashing out by world No. 361 Lois Boisson Jessica Pegula’s bid for a maiden Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros came to a screeching halt on Day 9 after the American No. 3 seed was stunned 3-6 6-4 6-4 by French wildcard Lois Boisson, ranked just 361 in the world. How the upset unfolded • Pegula dictated early, racing through the first set in 35 minutes with three breaks of serve. • Backed by a raucous Philippe-Chatrier crowd, 22-year-old Boisson found her range, breaking twice to level the match. • In a tense decider that lasted over an hour, Boisson saved four break points, then converted her fourth match point with a forehand winner to seal the biggest victory of her career after 2 hours 40 minutes on court. Historic ramifications • Lowest-ranked woman to reach a French Open quarter-final in 40 years. • Second French wildcard ever to make the women’s last eight, following Mary Pierce (2002). • Projected ranking leap from 361 to around 120, guaranteeing main-draw entry into upcoming WTA events. What went wrong for Pegula The 30-year-old struggled to adapt once Boisson began taking the ball early and exploiting short second serves. Pegula’s first-serve percentage dropped from 74 % in set one to 59 % in the final stanza, and she finished with 34 unforced errors, 11 of them off the normally reliable backhand wing. The New York native now heads to the grass-court swing seeking momentum before Wimbledon. Boisson’s dream run continues Next up for the Frenchwoman is sixth seed Mirra Andreeva, another 2000s-born rising star. Boisson, who tore her ACL weeks before last year’s tournament, called the moment “incredible,” telling the Parisian crowd she “believed from the first ball” despite facing a world top-3 opponent. What it means for the women’s draw Pegula’s departure blows the top half wide open. With No. 1 Iga Świątek and No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka in the opposite section, an unseeded semi-finalist from Pegula’s quarter is now guaranteed, heightening the suspense heading toward Championship weekend. Key takeaways for fans and bettors • Boisson’s fearless baseline aggression has produced 122 winners over four matches—keep an eye on her over-total games markets. • Pegula’s Grand Slam quarter-final drought at Roland-Garros extends to five appearances; historically she rebounds well on faster surfaces, making her a value pick for Berlin and Eastbourne. Upcoming schedule Quarter-finals begin Wednesday, with Boisson-Andreeva slated for the first night session. ESPN, Tennis Channel and ITV4 provide live broadcast coverage, while streaming is available via Roland-Garros TV and Peacock in the U.S. SEO keywords: Jessica Pegula loss, French Open upset, Lois Boisson beats Pegula, Roland Garros 2025 results, Pegula French Open exit, Boisson quarter-final, women’s tennis news.
