ROEHAMPTON, United Kingdom, June 24, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Shock Roland Garros 
semi-finalist Lois Boisson was eliminated in the first round of qualifying 
for Wimbledon on Tuesday by 197th-ranked Canadian Carson Branstine.

The French number one, now ranked 65th on the WTA Tour, was defeated after 
almost two hours of battle in the first grass-court match of her career, 
going down 6-2, 6-7 (1/7), 6-4.

On a windy Court 1 in Roehampton, where qualifying for Wimbledon takes place, 
the 22-year-old Frenchwoman looked ill at ease on grass -- a surface which 
differs greatly from her favoured clay.

Despite her stunning run at the French Open earlier in June, Boisson did not 
receive an invitation from the organisers of the next Grand Slam in the 
tennis schedule.

A wildcard in Paris, the player then ranked 361st in the world delighted the 
home fans by reaching the last four after defeating world number three 
Jessica Pegula and sixth seed Mirra Andreeva.

Boisson was then beaten in the semi-finals by American Coco Gauff, the 
eventual champion.

By virtue of her new ranking, Boisson was the top seed in Wimbledon 
qualifying.
