Loïs Boisson Falls in Parma Opener Two Weeks Before Roland-Garros

The defeat deepens concerns about her match fitness before the Paris major.

Overview

  • Boisson lost in three sets Monday in Parma to Czech Dominika Salkova, 7-6(5), 1-6, 2-6.
  • She faced 22 break points and was broken six times after edging the first-set tiebreak.
  • The rain-delayed opener lasted 2 hours 26 minutes, which put her recent fitness to the test.
  • She entered as the No. 1 seed after staying in Italy post-Rome to find matches at a lower-tier WTA 125 event.
  • She remains winless in 2026, with only Strasbourg next week before Roland-Garros begins on May 24.
