MONTREAL: Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko rallied to reach the National Bank Open final, beating ninth-seeded Elena Rybakina 1-6, 7-5, 7-6 (4) on Wednesday night. The 18-year-old Mboko dropped to the court after Rybakina’s shot sailed long on match point as the crowd — lined with “Allez Vicky” — erupted. Mboko saved a match point in the third set and broke Rybakina twice to force the tiebreaker. “Incredible match, thank you to everyone for supporting me,” Mboko told the crowd in French.

Victoria Mboko continues her fairytale run at the Canadian Open as she breezes past Jessica Bouzas Maneiro to reach the semi-finals.

Mboko has won 49 matches in 2025, two of those at a Grand Slam and five on her Canadian Open run. But she's here for the long haul.
