Victoria Mboko has been in a sensational form at the Canadian Open. Last week, she bested 2025 French Open queen Coco Gauff before making her maiden semifinal appearance at a 1000-level WTA event. Sadly, her hopes of clinching a big career title have faced major roadblock in the ongoing battle against a former Wimbledon winner. The 18-year-old is struggling to keep her campaign afloat just when she’s on the brink of creating history for her country.
In Centre Court, Mboko and Elena Rybakina are battling it out for a place in the summit clash of the Canadian Open. After the Kazakh star won the first set 6-1, local talent Mboko fought back hard. She snatched the second set with a score line of 7-5 to push the match into a decider. At the time of writing, she’s leading in the match, but her journey almost came to a standstill minutes ago as she called for a medical time-out (MTO) after feeling an issue in the wrist of her right hand. The score line was 2-1 in favor of her at that moment in the third set.
