She is by far the lowest-ranked woman to beat someone ranked in the top five at the French Open in 40 years. The lowest previously in that span was No. 179 Aniko Kapros, who eliminated No. 5 Justine Henin in the first round in 2002. Boisson also is the lowest-ranked woman to reach the quarterfinals at Roland-Garros since at least 1985.

The win pushes Gauff to the French Open quarterfinals for the fifth time in her career. Of the four Grand Slams, Gauff has been most consistent at the French Open. She finished as a quarterfinalist in both 2021 and 2023, made the semifinals in 2024 and finished as a finalist in 2022. Despite that success, Gauff has never won the event.
