Mboko’s Dream Run Continues – 18-Year-Old Reaches Montreal Semis – Tennis Now
By Chris Oddo | Monday August 4, 2025
Canadian sensation Victoria Mboko is on her way to becoming a star. Already turning heads at Roland-Garros, where she reached the third round from qualifying, the Canadian continues to impress on her home soil, where she reached the semifinals at the Omnium Banque Nationale with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain before a thrilled, partisan crowd on Monday night.
Mboko is the fourth youngest woman to reach the last four at the WTA’s 1000 level event in Canada since 2000, and the youngest since 2015.
“I know it’s not over,” she said. “I’m so excited to be in the semifinals here, it’s been unreal.
“I think just to play in front of the Canadian crowd – I train here and it’s my first time playing in Montreal and it has been an unreal experience and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
She will face Elena Rybakina in the semifinals on Wednesday in Montreal.
