When we talk about the present and future of the women’s circuit, it is hard to look beyond teen sensation Victoria Mboko. Currently sitting on a career-high ranking of No. 17 in the world, the Canadian prodigy won her maiden WTA-1000 trophy in Montreal last year. Mboko followed it up with a championship run in Hong Kong, resulting in a vastly impressive career win-loss record of 130-53. The 8th seed has beaten Beatriz Haddad-Maia and Anna Kalinskaya in three sets en route to the last eight.
