Wildcard Teen Mboko Stuns Rybakina To Set Up Montreal Final With Osaka
Victoria Mboko: Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko's magical ride in Montreal will continue into the Canadian Open final after another headline-grabbing upset victory. The 18-year-old wild card saved a match point in dispatching No. 9 seed Elena Rybakina 1-6, 7-5, 7-6(4), putting her through to her first WTA Tour singles final.
Mboko became the first Canadian player to defeat three former Grand Slam champions (Rybakina, Coco Gauff, Sofia Kenin) in a single WTA event in the Open Era and the fourth Canadian finalist at her country's signature event in the Open Era after Faye Urban (1968 and 1969), Vicky Berner (1969) and Bianca Andreescu (2019), moreover, the youngest of those, and the first to do it in Montreal, according to WTA stats.
The teenage Canadian also became the third wildcard to reach the final at the Canadian Open in the Open Era after Monica Seles (1995) and Simona Halep (2015).
