Coco Gauff battles Lois Boisson and home crowd to reach French Open final

• American ends wildcard's fairytale run in two sets

• World No 2 reaches second Roland-Garros final

Coco Gauff said she had to block out the home support as she beat French wildcard Lois Boisson to reach the final at Roland-Garros on Thursday.

Boisson, the world No 361, sent shockwaves around the tournament by becoming the first wildcard to reach the semi-finals, and a notoriously fierce crowd can be a challenge even for the most seasoned players, but Gauff came prepared.
