MONTREAL:Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and Canadian teen sensation Victoria Mboko booked a championship showdown with gritty semifinal wins on Wednesday in the WTA Canadian Open in Montreal. Japan’s Osaka, chasing her first tour-level title since the 2021 Australian Open, saved a pair of set points in the second-set tiebreak to polish off a 6-2, 7-6 (9/7) victory over Denmark’s Clara Tauson — who was coming off victories over Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek and Australian Open winner Madison Keys.

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.
