• Gauff will face world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the final.

Coco Gauff ended Lois Boisson's surprise run at the French Open with a dominant 6-1, 6-2 victory on Thursday, securing her place in the final against top seed Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff, ranked number two globally, overwhelmed the French wildcard, silencing the home crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier and reaching her third Grand Slam final after previously finishing as runner-up at Roland Garros in 2022 and winning the U.S. Open in 2023, according to BBC and Channel News Asia.

The 22-year-old Boisson's journey ended in disappointment despite her remarkable performance leading up to the semi-finals. Ranked 361st in the world, she had previously defeated top players including world number three Jessica Pegula and sixth seed Mirra Andreeva, which made her semi-final appearance a significant achievement after missing last year's event due to a knee injury. Despite fervent support from the crowd, she struggled to maintain her momentum against Gauff's relentless play, according to Le Monde and Channel News Asia.

In her final match, Gauff showcased her skill by breaking serve multiple times, putting Boisson on the defensive early in both sets. Despite having a supportive audience, the wild card faced challenges in converting break points, ultimately retreating against Gauff's formidable gameplay. Gauff expressed her readiness to prepare for the final, stating, "Obviously there's still a lot of work to do, but for now I'll enjoy this one," according to BBC and Le Monde.
