On the morning of August 7 (Vietnam time), the semi-final match between the young Canadian tennis player and the 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina (Kazakhstan) took place. Before the match, experts were leaning towards the former world No. 3 tennis player, because her experience and class were rated much higher than the young talent Victoria Mboko.
Thanks to the psychological advantage, the Kazakh female tennis player overwhelmed Mboko in the first set with a score of 6-1. However, Victoria Mboko quickly regained her confidence in the second set and won with a score of 7-5.
In the final set, the two players pushed the match into a tie-break and Mboko defeated Elena Rybakina with a score of 7-6 (4), thereby helping the young Canadian player to make a brilliant comeback against her opponent with a final score of 2-1.
This victory helped her win a ticket to the final match of the 2025 Canadian Open. This is a strong affirmation of the talent and courage of a tennis player who is only 18 years old.
The 2006-born athlete entered the tournament ranked 85th in the world. She continuously caused shock after defeating many "hardcore" opponents such as Sofia Kenin, Coco Gauff and Rybakina. Mboko became the first Canadian to defeat three former Grand Slam champions in a WTA event.
Mboko's opponent in the final is Naomi Osaka (Japan). Osaka is a familiar name in the tennis world, she was ranked number 1 in the world and won 4 Grand Slam titles.
The 2025 Canada Open final between Victoria Mboko and Naomi Osaka will take place at 5am on August 8 (Vietnam time). This promises to be a dramatic match, where Mboko continues to use her youth to try to overcome the experience of the Japanese player.
