Mirra Andreeva Tennis Breakthrough: 17-Year-Old’s French Open Giant-Killing Spree
• Hot Trendy News
Roland-Garros, Paris — In front of a thunderous Court Suzanne-Lenglen, 22-year-old French wildcard Loïs Boisson authored the biggest shock of the 2025 French Open, eliminating world No. 6 Mirra Andreeva 7-6 (6), 6-3 to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal and ignite a home-nation fairytale.
Early tension, late drama
Andreeva, the precocious Russian who arrived in Paris riding an eight-match clay-court win streak, looked poised to impose her superior power when she broke for 5-3. But Boisson’s counter-punching and fearless drop shots dragged the set to a tiebreak, where the Frenchwoman saved two set points before sealing it on a net-cord winner that sent the crowd into delirium.
Momentum swung permanently when Andreeva double-faulted to surrender an early break in set two. From 0-2 down, Boisson reeled off six of the next seven games, finishing the upset with a lung-bursting forehand pass that landed inches inside the baseline.
Stat sheet
• Aces: Boisson 2, Andreeva 5
• Winners / Unforced errors: Boisson 23 / 17; Andreeva 27 / 34
• Break-point conversion: Boisson 4-for-6; Andreeva 2-for-7
Key storylines for search audiences
1. Local hero effect: Ranked No. 361 and playing her first Roland-Garros main draw, Boisson rode vocal French support reminiscent of 2021’s crowd-boosted run by compatriot Alizé Cornet.
2. Andreeva’s frustration: The 18-year-old repeatedly gestured toward her box and incurred a code violation for racquet abuse, echoing temperament questions that surfaced after her 2024 US Open quarterfinal exit.
3. Rankings impact: Boisson is projected to rocket inside the WTA Top 120, guaranteeing direct entry into Wimbledon. Andreeva, meanwhile, will drop to No. 8 and lose ground in the Race to Shenzhen.
4. Semi-final outlook: Boisson will face No. 2 seed Coco Gauff, who survived Madison Keys in three sets earlier Wednesday. Gauff leads their head-to-head 1-0 after a straight-sets win in Miami this spring.
Quotes of the day
• Boisson: “I kept telling myself, ‘enjoy every point.’ The crowd gave me wings, and I think Mirra felt that pressure.”
• Andreeva: “I didn’t manage my emotions well. It’s disappointing because I love playing here, but today wasn’t my day.”
Why this matters
Mirra Andreeva’s meteoric rise has been one of tennis’ top search drivers since her 2023 Roland-Garros breakthrough; any stumble by the teen phenom sends ripples through social media and betting markets. Combined with France’s appetite for a homegrown heroine, Boisson’s Cinderella surge positions Thursday’s semifinal as a must-watch event for global viewers and fantasy-tennis players alike.
What’s next
• Semifinal schedule: Boisson vs Gauff slated for Thursday, not before 5 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET) on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
• Broadcast: Live on Tennis Channel (U.S.), Prime Video (France), and Eurosport across Europe.

Mirra Andreeva leaves Paris with lessons learned; tennis fans leave with a new name to type into their search bars.
