Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko capped a breakthrough week at the National Bank Open in Montreal by defeating former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 to claim her first WTA Tour title. Mboko, 18, entered the WTA 1000 tournament as a wildcard ranked 85th in the world. The Toronto resident is projected to soar into the top 30 after becoming only the third Canadian woman to win the country’s premier tennis event in the Open Era, joining Faye Urban (1969) and Bianca Andreescu (2019). Her victory over Osaka followed earlier wins against Sofia Kenin, Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina, making her the first Canadian to defeat three former Grand Slam champions in a single WTA event. The result secures Mboko’s first tour-level trophy and signals a rapid ascent for the teenager less than two years after turning professional.
