U.S. No.2 seed Gauff will face host Lois Boisson for a ticket to the Women's Singles final at the 2025 French Open.
Gauff, the second seed in the United States
Russia's sixth seed Andreeva, who lost to Boisson in the quarter-finals, was the victim of being crushed by the crowd's voice, admitting that the pressure from the crowd cheering on the hosts made her less confident and she lost the match.
When it comes to the upcoming match against Boisson, how should you deal with the crowd's full support for the opponent? "I've used two methods before, Method A, pretend they're cheering you on, and Method B, use them and don't let them influence you," Gauff said. I've also experienced scenes where 99% of the audience cheers for me, so I'm okay with that, but I want everyone to respect me, and it's okay if not. ”
Gauff also mentioned that she wants to be able to smile more in the game like Alcaraz, "I told him that I try to enjoy the game as much as he did, and laugh as much as he does on the court, and that's what he keeps motivating me, but I don't think I'm probably going to smile as much as Carlos does, winning or losing, but occasionally I try to smile a little bit, I'm usually a more serious person on the court, but I try to remind myself that it's just a game after all, and try to face it with that mentality." ”
