Boisson: 'Stupid' to Play at 50%
Before Rome, the Frenchwoman admits she played in Madrid at a physical deficit. A rare display of transparency on the psychological calculus of elite comebacks.
Before tackling the WTA 1000 in Rome, Loïs Boisson faces an uncomfortable reality: she is playing at 50%. That is her own blunt, unfiltered assessment. The Frenchwoman, in recovery after several months away due to a right arm injury, chose to compete in Madrid the previous week, fully aware of the real risk.
She lost to Peyton Stearns (6-1, 6-3). The goal was never victory. It was a return.
What makes Boisson's stance remarkable is her transparency. She does not cite mitigating circumstances or hide behind diplomatic phrases. She admits: playing injured is stupid.
