We now know the four semifinalists for the 2025 French Open. On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek will face Aryna Sabalenka, while Coco Gauff will face Lois Boisson. Then on the men’s side, Novak Djokovic will face Jannik Sinner, and Carlos Alcaraz will face Lorenzo Mussetti.
The biggest story of the French Open to date has been the spectacular play of Boisson, the 361st ranked player in the world. What we are seeing from this French phenom is simply masterful. On Wednesday in the quarterfinals, we continued to see this exceptional play. Boisson stunned world number six Mirra Andreeva of Russia 7-6, 6-3. A big reason why Boisson won came down to double faults as Boisson had three and Andreeva had nine. Boisson’s win over Andreeva came two days after her remarkable win over Jessica Pegula.
Gauff beat Australian Open champion Madison Keys 6-7, 6-4, 6-1. It was a dominant final set for Gauff after a sluggish start. This is obviously the first time Gauff has played Boisson, who has played the majority of her career on the ITF circuit.
Meanwhile, Sabalenka of Belarus, the world number one, will be in for a battle as she is facing Swiatek of Poland who is a four-time French Open champion. Head-to-head, Swiatek has won eight of 12 meetings. In the quarterfinals, Sabalenka beat Qinwen Zheng of China 7-6, 6-3, and Swiatek beat Elina Svitolina of Ukraine, 6-1, 7-5. Swiatek broke Svitolina four times.
On the men’s side, Alcaraz of Spain has beaten Musetti of Italy five of six times. Djokovic of Serbia and Sinner of Italy have beaten each other four times each. Alcaraz clobbered American Tommy Paul 6-0, 6-1, 6-4. Alcaraz broke Paul six of 17 times and Paul did not have a break of serve. Musetti beat American Frances Tiafoe 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. Musetti broke Tiafoe five times and had eight aces. Sinner clobbered Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 thanks to six breaks of serve. Djokovic beat Zverev 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 thanks to six aces and four breaks of serve.
