    *Andreeva 4-3 Boisson

    She's muttering away to herself on the baseline is Boisson.

    Her coach said this week that when she was younger Boisson was known for destroying a racquet or two on court in frustration.

    We're seeing a couple of glimpses of that temperament at times.

    *Andreeva 4-3 Boisson

    Boisson is ranked 361 in the world but clearly is playing way above that level.

    Her career high is 152. It will be interesting to see how this run affects her position in the rankings.

    Andreeva offers her a lifeline with a double fault then some good anticipation moves her to 40-30 and a strong forehand takes us to deuce.

    You hate to get a double fault when you get the break.

    The momentum is with you, the crowd is with you, those opening points set the momentum for the game.

    Mirra Andreeva has just been handed a bit of a lifeline in this seventh game, which is always crucial in each set.

    This is what the French fans came for!

    The familiar cry of 'Allez le Bleue!' rings around Chatrier when Boisson breaks.

    The noise amplified by the echo created by the closed roof.

    Got it!

    Boisson takes the break at the first opportunity. Andreeva will be disappointed with that she gifted the Frenchwoman a couple of points.

    But Boisson will take it and we're back on serve.

    Mirra Andreeva looks so much stronger physically in the corners. Her defensive capabilities this year have also proved out of sight.

    Andreeva is being quite clever at the moment by making these rallies as long as possible because Lois Boisson is looking a little bit frustrated and fatigued.

    A big hold for Boisson ensures it is just that one break she trails by.

    Andreeva 3-1 Boisson*

    Andreeva just weaving these points together really well.

    She deploys the slice then the drop shot before pumping a forehand past Boisson and down the line.

    She's patient again at deuce and works herself a break point after a scrambling effort.

    *Andreeva 2-1 Boisson

    Patient hitting from the baseline from both players but that's a great shot from Andreeva as she tries to mix up her shots.

    She loops one to one corner of the court then rips a backhand down the other side for game point.

    *Andreeva 2-1 Boisson

    Boisson has a glimmer of an opening at 15-30 but it's quickly snuffed out as Andreeva hits an ace for game point.

    Andreeva tries to set up a winner but instead can only dump into the net for deuce.

    Good reaction to being broken from the Frenchwoman.

    *Andreeva 2-1 Boisson

    Andreeva takes her chance at the second opportunity as Boisson can't wrap her racquet round her shot enough to prevent it from dropping wide.

    Few nerves from the wildcard, perhaps.

    Andreeva 1-1 Boisson*

    Boisson finds a first serve at the crucial moment to save break point but sends one just wide as Andreeva looks to be aggressive with her shots and that's another break point for the teenager.

    These two have of course never played each other and Lois Boisson is somewhat of an unknown for Mirra Andreeva. She said in the build-up to the match she'll just have to hope her coaching team have done their homework.

    So far so good for the 18-year-old as she takes the hold.

  20. Boisson holds first gamepublished at 12:45 British Summer Time 4 June

    *Andreeva 0-1 Boisson

    A great start from the wildcard and a big confidence booster as she holds to love with some solid serving.

    She's going to have the crowd behind her so Andreeva is going to have to find a way to combat that.
