Lois Boisson Smashes Racket After First-Round Loss to Emma Navarro in US Open Meltdown

French tennis player Lois Boisson experienced a complete meltdown at the US Open on Monday after her first-round loss to American Emma Navarro. The 23-year-old Boisson destroyed her racket repeatedly on the ground after the three-set match, which concluded with a 6-7, 7-6, 3-6 defeat. Boisson and Navarro shook hands before the incident, but the American, who has been dealing with hypothyroidism, celebrated her victory oblivious to Boisson's outburst.

The match was initially scheduled for Sunday night, but bad weather caused a suspension midway through the second set, leading to a resumption on Monday. Boisson took the second set, but Navarro emerged victorious in the third. Boisson, who reached the semifinals of the French Open in 2025, had capitalized on the delay to secure the win.

Health struggles have sidelined the Charleston, South Carolina native from tennis for several months. At Wimbledon, it was revealed that Navarro has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, a condition that the American tennis player attributes to the constant travel and stress of the tour.
