Mboko was ranked 333rd at the start of 2025
Teenager Victoria Mboko continued her fairytale run at the Canadian Open as she breezed past Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro to reach the semi-finals.
The 18-year-old Canadian, who knocked out two-time major winner Coco Gauff in the fourth round, impressed again on home soil with a 6-4 6-2 win in Montreal.
She will face 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, the ninth seed, in her first WTA 1000-level semi-final.
"I'm so excited to be in the semi-final here," Mboko, who is ranked 85th, said in her on-court interview.
