French Open semifinalist Lois Boisson joins forces with coach of former Grand Slam champion ahead of Asian swing

With the WTA Tour beginning it’s Asian swing after the US Open, rising French tennis star Lois Boisson has made some changes to her team, as she hopes to end the 2025 season on a strong note.
The Dijon burst into the limelight at the 2025 French Open, where she captured hearts during her passionate run to the semifinals. Boisson defeated 24th seed Elise Mertens in the first round, before taking down former World No.2 Jessica Pegula in the round of 16.
Boisson would face her biggest challenge in the quarterfinal, defeating sixth seed Mirra Andreeva to set up a semifinal showdown with former champion Coco Gauff. Unfortunately, the French woman would fall to the top-ranked American, but not without leaving an indelible mark in front of her home crowd.Prior to the 2025 US Open, Boisson would part ways with coach Florian Reynet, who had worked with her for two years and guided her to her best Grand Slam result. After competing at Flushing Meadows without a coach, where she lost in the first round, Boisson would eventually agree to a collaboration with Spanish coach Carlos Martinez.
