Loïs Boisson, who had qualified for her first Grand Slam semi-final at Roland-Garros in 2025, is back on the tournament this May 26 to play against Anna Kalinskaya. But who is the young player who gave French tennis a boost? We tell you everything.
Where does Loïs Boisson live?
Loïs Boisson was born May 16, 2003 in Dijon (in Burgundy) and sport is a family affair since her father is the former basketball player Yann Boisson. However, she grew up partly in Chambéry (Savoie) then towards Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) where she was registered at TC Beaulieu then at the Nice Giordan Tennis Club. but, for several years now, Loïs Boisson has lived in Lyon, as reported Lyon Women. It is here that she trains at the All In Tennis Academy. However, questioned on the sidelines of Roland-Garros by Konbinishe ended up revealing that she currently lives in Annecy…
On the other hand, don’t count on Loïs Boisson to say more about her private life. Companion or partner, single or in a relationship, the player remains silent on the subject!
Ranking and earnings for Loïs Boisson
To date, Loïs Boisson is 43rd in the WTA rankings. If she has only won one victory in the last five matches after her injury which immobilized her for several months, thanks to her exceptional performance at Roland-Garros 2025, where she reached the semi-finals, notably beating world No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 6 Mirra Andreeva, she maintains a good place in the rankings.
On the money side, Loïs Boisson had accumulated the very modest sum of $148,000 in career earnings. Thanks to her exceptional run until the semi-final of the Roland-Garros tournament – for which she benefited from a wild card – she has already won $775,000, or approximately 690,000 euros. This brings his career earnings to approximately $923,000.
Loïs Boisson, physical side: size and tattoo
The player, who measures 1.75m, has a very effective style of play. “I am aggressive from the baseline. I rely on a big serve and my forehand. I’m shifting a lot on this one. I have a fairly high ball, which also explains why I prefer clay. On the backhand side, I vary quite a bit with my slice“, she confided to FFT.fr. Loïs Boisson has a tattoo on her arm: the word resilience written in capital letters and loaded with meaning in relation to her journey.
Loïs Boisson: who is her attractive brother?
Loïs Boisson is strongly supported by those close to her, in particular her father, the ex-basketball player Yann Boisson, as well as her attractive brother, Anton Boisson, also a former basketball player. The latter had played for several clubs in France and even in the United States, before becoming a sports coach and founding his own digital marketing agency specializing in sport, Skymove Agency.
What injury did Loïs Boisson have?
In the spring of 2024, just two weeks before Roland-Garros, Loïs Boisson unfortunately ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee. “This injury was very hard to accept“, the player then confided. It must be said that after this injury, she had nine months of convalescence. Which explained her very poor ranking before the 2025 edition of the Parisian clay tournament.
But even after climbing the rankings thanks to her exploits at Roland Garros, the athlete was faced with an injury which prevented her from shining. Last September, during the WTA 1000 in Beijing, Loïs Boisson had to withdraw from her match against Emma Navarro because she suffered from quadriceps pain. Shortly after, a pain in her forearm immobilized her. For several months, the tennis player had to take a step back.
Why was Loïs Boisson controversial?
The young woman experienced a misadventure despite herself against Harriet Dart, in April 2025 at the Rouen Open. “Can you tell him to wear deodorant? She smells really bad“, her opponent had said in the middle of the match. There was a lively controversy on social networks and, even though she had lost, Harriet Dart finally apologized on Instagram: “Hello everyone, I want to apologize for what I said on court today, it was a blunt comment that I sincerely regret. This is not the way I want to behave and I take responsibility.”
And Loïs Boisson’s response? A photo of her with a tennis ball on which she had edited to put the Dove deodorant logo. In caption: “Dove, apparently I need a collaboration“. A future sponsor for the now French number 1?
