26 May
Summary
- Loïs Boisson lost 6-2, 6-2 to Anna Kalinskaya in Roland Garros first round.

- Boisson will use a protected ranking for eight tournaments until April 2027.
Loïs Boisson was eliminated from the Roland Garros 2026 tournament in the first round after a 6-2, 6-2 defeat against Anna Kalinskaya. This outcome starkly contrasts with her performance last year, where she reached the semifinals, earning 780 ranking points. Her current ranking of 43rd is expected to drop to around 150th due to the loss of these points.
Boisson's ranking slide of nearly 770 points will shape her upcoming tournament schedule. Fortunately, she can utilize a protected ranking for eight events until April 2027, stemming from a seven-month injury layoff from September 2025 to April 2026. This protected entry status will allow her to compete as the 38th-ranked player, including at the US Open 2026 and the Australian Open 2027.
With Wimbledon entries already closed, Boisson's focus shifts to the grass-court season. She will compete in tournaments at s-Hertogenbosch (June 8-14) and Nottingham (June 15-21) as a crucial test before Wimbledon, which runs from June 29 to July 12.
