Are y'all aware a 500-1 underdog, French Woman, Lois Boisson, ranked #361 in the world - and coming off an ACL tear 9 months ago - beat the #6 seed to advance to the French Open Semifinals?
She will face Coco Gauff, who took down fellow American Madison Keys in the Quarters and has made it this far in 3 of last 4 years, but never won.
The Boissant story is incredible, and is an example of why we find sports so compelling. Gauff will be "playing a road game" to get to the Final. Swiatek and Sabalenka will battle for the other spot in the Final. Really would be nice to see some raucous crowds over the next few days. Been a little bit muted so far, other than the amazing Boissant upsets.
On the Men's side, we have two Italians (#1 Jannik Sinner and #8 Lorenzo Musetti) in the Semifinals of a Grand Slam for the first time since 1960. The #2 Carlos Alcaraz is in too. Novak Djokovic vs. Alexander Zrerev for the right to play Sinner.
TNT's first year of coverage has been pretty darn good.
