World number 361 Lois Boisson pulled off the biggest shock of this year’s French Open with a stunning fourth-round victory against third seed Jessica Pegula.
The French player, given a wildcard into the main draw after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament in her knee last year, came through 3-6 6-4 6-4 against the US Open runner-up.
Boisson is making her debut in the main draw of a Grand Slam and had never played an opponent ranked in the world’s top 50 before this week.
The 22-year-old had to stave off four break points as she served for the match at 5-4 in the third set before sealing victory with a thumping forehand winner.
Boisson was serenaded by chants of “Lois!” from the packed crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier as the moment finally sank in.
She will play sixth seed Mirra Andreeva for a place in the Paris semi-finals.
