Canadian Open: Mboko Upsets No.1 Seed Gauff To Seal QF Spot
Omnium Banque Nationale: On Sunday, Victoria Mboko knocked off No. 1 seed Coco Gauff at the Omnium Banque Nationale 6-1, 6-4 in a little over an hour to advance to Monday’s quarterfinals. She’s the youngest woman to make the elite eight here since Gauff three years ago.
Mboko is only the second wild card in the Open Era to defeat the top seed at the Canadian Open after Stephanie Dubois in 2006 (versus Kim Clijsters). She’s the fifth youngest player to defeat the top seed in a WTA 1000 event since the format’s introduction in 2009 -- older only than Gauff (Rome 2021), Mirra Andreeva (Indian Wells 2025), Belinda Bencic (Toronto 2015) and Kai Chen Chang (Tokyo 2009)
Mboko is also the youngest Canadian quarterfinalist at the Canadian Open since Helen Kelesi in 1987, as per WTA.
