Tennis: French Open 2025
- Thread starter Tuggy
- Start date
She's done it again. Boisson is in the semis, having knocked off Andreeva 7-6 6-3. Andreeva, normally a cool customer, started out fine, went up a break, and then slowly became tighter and tighter as the match progressed. She just barely got to a breaker and then blew two set points in that. The second set was downhill from there. This is becoming quite the story. Boisson on the live rankings has moved from #361 to #65.
Amazing factoid: Before this French Open began, in her entire career, Boisson had never faced a player ranked above #60 in the world.

Boisson might not be done. She faces another Nervous Nellie in Gauff in the semis.

Check out when they "broke" 16 year old Hingis, thats RG, she will be fine
im not sure, who broke down in tears, but it was a young female, i thought it was Hingis
but couldnt confirm it, it was well known, but pre 2000

During Serena's final US Open, she managed to beat then #3 Anett Kontaveit in an early round. The crowd was so brutal in that one that I think it led directly to Kontaveit retiring from the game. She obviously considered it a traumatic experience. That is a very unfortunate thing to occur in any sporting event where the end result shouldn't be of such consequence.
As expected Sinner has little trouble beating Bublik in straight set, only the second of which was competitive. Getting to the semis has required only a modest expenditure of energy for Sinner all tournament. He should be fresh as a daisy the rest of the way.

Agreed. I think Boisson has a chance on the clay of RG. If it was on grass or a hard court outside of France, I'd give her no shot. 10:10 AM nice!What a run from Boisson, I forgot she was the woman that had that weird confrontation with Harriet Dart a few months back.Really good comeback by Coco v Keys earlier too, Sinner with the expected demolishment of Bublik

Best of three sets now for Zverev and Nole. A match of rather quiet grinding so far, if that makes sense. Though Zverev came to the net more in the second set, he looks like he is in danger of retreating to that conservative defensive shell that he favours when he gets nervous. Maybe wishful thinking on my part, though....
....or not.

The guy has the heart of a weasel....which, now that I think on it, is undoubtedly a disservice to weasels.
Weasels are pretty nasty little predators. And they're not all so little. Wolverines are weasels.
Iga looks closer to her expected form than she has been in quite awhile, but how does one pick against Sabalenka given the year that she is having? Aryna in three sets
Got to pick Gauff over Boisson, but not with the degree of certainty that I have mistakenly had picking Boisson's opponents so far. I'm really curious about how the crowd will influence the result. Coco in straight sets.

Djokovic with his 51!!!!! SF in GS, he could tie and pass one of the
what i thought was the most unbeatable record in Tennis,
Chris Everts 52 GS SF.

Sabalenka is the best player in the world right now, but at RG i never count out Iga
Coco will have an experience of a life time, the crowd will be brutal, it could
yhrow her off, it will get into her head i think, look at Fritz last year.

TNT trying to make Gauff look like the best in the world as well as the underdog lmao.
"She's not just playing Boisson. She's fighting against all of France."

Sabalenka's game is too powerful for Iga. The latter thrives on longer rallies and controlled shots. If you attack her, like Rybakina did in the first set of the last game, Iga really struggles. Aryna is much tougher than Rybakina for me.
Gauff in straight sets for me too: 6-2 and 6-1.
