No. 2 Coco Gauff reached her second career French Open final with a dominant 6-1, 6-2 win against unranked Lois Boisson in the French Open women's semifinals at Roland-Garros on Thursday.

After tearing through the third rung of professional women’s tennis, the French Tennis Federation (FFT) awarded Boisson a wild card for the French Open. A week before, at a minor tournament in Paris, Boisson tore her anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee and missed nine months of tennis. She didn’t even watch the tournament on television.

Last year, the results were not so disastrous, with two survivors in the Round of 16. But this year, although it's still a bloodbath, one Frenchwoman - Loïs Boisson - has saved the day and is now heading for the semi-finals!
