Boisson won a thrilling battle 7-6 (8/6), 6-3 in just over two hours against Russian teenager Andreeva in front of an ecstatic home crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier and advances to meet US world number two Coco Gauff for a place in the final.

The 22-year-old had already eliminated US third seed Jessica Pegula on the red clay of Paris with the wildcard entry extending her run against last year's semi-finalist Andreeva.

"It was incredible to play in front of this crowd and to feel support like that. It was amazing, thank you," said Boisson, playing in her first Grand Slam.

"My routine won't change, it's been the same since the start of the tournament," she added of her preparation for semi-finals.

She next meets Gauff who battled back from a set down to beat Australian Open champion Madison Keys 6-7 (6/8), 6-4, 6-1.
