Roland-Garros semi-finalist, Nice tennis player Loïs Boisson has chosen her new coach

A few days after ending her collaboration with Florian Reynet, Loïs Boisson has found her new coach .

According to L'Équipe , the Roland-Garros semi-finalist has chosen to work with the Spaniard Carlos Martinez , 51, whose CV speaks for itself: he accompanied Svetlana Kuznetsova to her Grand Slam titles and Daria Kasatkina to the world Top 10.

A conclusive test

Eliminated in the first round of the US Open, the TC Nice-Giordan player had drawn up a shortlist of coaches before testing Martinez in training last week. "They clicked immediately and the desire to see what it could be like was mutual," her agent, Jonathan Dasnières de Veigy, told L'Équipe.

The Frenchwoman's criteria were clear: high-level experience , knowledge of the WTA circuit, the ability to travel and commit fully. The Spaniard ticks all the boxes.

An Asian tour to start

Martinez won't be present at the WTA 500 in Seoul, where Loïs Boisson lands alone this week. But he will join her for the rest of a busy Asian tour , with two WTA 1000s (Beijing and Wuhan), a WTA 500 (Tokyo), and a WTA 250 (Osaka). These are all opportunities for the world number 47 to test this new collaboration against the cream of the world tennis scene.

After a break of more than a year away from the circuit, Martinez had been back in the saddle alongside Russian Diana Shnaider in recent months. Now, he's signed up with Loïs Boisson, the first Frenchwoman to entrust him with the reins of her career. A pivotal step for a player who wants to confirm her status and aim even higher .
