Canada’s tennis shooting star Victoria Mboko celebrates a meteoric rise in 2025.
Canada’s tennis rising star Victoria Mboko has won her second title on the tour at the WTA tournament in Hong Kong. The 19-year-old defeated Spain’s Cristina Bucsa 7-5, 6-7 (9-11), 6-2. The victory crowned the Canadian’s strong season and propelled her into the top 20 in the world.
Mboko had been outside the top 300 before the season, but she won her first WTA title against former world number one Naomi Osaka at her home tournament in Montreal. Her meteoric rise then suffered a slight setback. Her first-round exit at the US Open was followed by further early defeats. Most recently in Tokyo and when winning the title in Hong Kong, her form showed an upward trend again.
