French number one Lois Boisson battled to her first WTA title on clay in Hamburg yesterday with a straight sets win over Hungary’s Anna Bondar.

A surprise Roland Garros semi-finalist last month, Boisson won 7-5, 6-3 to give France a first success on the WTA circuit since Caroline Garcia at the season-ending Tour Finals in November 2022.

“This is the first time I’ve given a (tournament winner’s) speech, so please bear with me,” the 22-year-old said before offering a simple “Danke” (“Thank you”) to the German crowd.
