PSG star Ousmane Dembele brought the Champions League trophy to center court at the French Open. He walked onto the court after Lois Boisson beat Jessica Pegula. The striker told fans how wonderful winning felt for his team. Club president Nasser al-Khelaifi watched from the stands. Dembele thanked supporters for their help during the season.
Boisson became the first French woman to reach the quarterfinals since 2017. The 22-year-old received a wild card invitation despite ranking 361st. She hurt her knee before last year's tournament and returned just three months ago. Her prize money jumped from 148,000 dollars to at least 440,000 euros. The victory gives her enough points to enter major tournaments.
Alexander Zverev advanced when Tallon Griekspoor retired with a stomach problem. Griekspoor had led early but could not maintain his pace. Zverev noticed his opponent serving slower than usual during the match. The German will face Novak Djokovic in the next round. Djokovic has won all twelve sets he played at this tournament.
