Once again imperial on the clay of the Hamburg tournament, Loïs Boisson is preparing to find a surface which succeeds much less.
Loïs Boisson did not take long to confirm the immense promises displayed in Roland-Garros last spring. For her first tournament on the main circuit, the young Frenchwoman was indeed at the end, winning her first career victory from her third appearance on the large circuit.
Certainly at ease on clay, the native of Dijon is now preparing to go through the Atlantic to launch her season on hard. A surface where the one that now points to the 44e global place has much fewer certainties. And for good reason, while she already displays no less than 148 matches played on the ocher, she has only 69 on hard.
And its results are amendment with only 47% of hard victories against 72% on clay. On a hard time, she has never done better than a quarter -finish, whether at WTA 125 in Limoges in December 2023 or at the ITF in Grenoble and Mâcon, in 2024. Three tournaments played in the dining room.
Loïs Boisson in lack of landmarks
While the last Roland-Garros allowed her to offer herself the scalp of two top 10 players, Jessica Pegula, third world player, and Mirra Andreeva, sixth in the WTA ranking, she only counts on a single victory on a top 200 player, Tereza Martincova, who pointed to 148e global place. And again, this success had been acquired on abandonment.
And faced with the four top 100s that she faced on hard, Loïs Boisson did not win the slightest set. Inevitably worrying as the Montreal tournament approaches when its preparation may be reduced to the bare minimum.
However, Pauline Parmentier, the coach of the French team of Billie Jean King Cup was intended to be optimistic. “It is no longer a surface as fast as before, the ball hangs and bounces well. His forehand will always be effective and his physique will always be there ”she said to the team, convinced that the new phenomenon of French tennis will be there “Business”.
