Aug 2, 2025; Montreal, QC, Canada; Victoria Mboko (CAN) reacts after winning against Coco Gauff (USA) in fourth round play at IGA Stadium.

Two unseeded stars will step foot on Centre Court, as home favourite Victoria Mboko leads the Canadian charge against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain. This quarterfinal encounter at the 2025 National Bank Open in Montreal will determine who enters the crucial last four stage. While wildcard Mboko has dropped just one set en route to this stage, Bouzas Maneiro has had to overcome multiple three set thrillers. With the help of BetMGM, we look to delve deeper into this contest.

Victoria Mboko vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro Match Preview

Mboko and Bouzas Maneiro will be facing off for the first time in their young careers. Aged 18 and 22 respectively, the prodigious talents are still finding their footing on tour. Mboko has reached back-to-back Grand Slam main draws at the French Open and Wimbledon, and is currently ranked No. 85 in the world. The Canadian is 2-2 on this surface over the past year, and managed to win 67% of her service games during this period.

The 18-year-old cut open the top half of the draw by eliminating top seed Coco Gauff in the Round of 16. On the other hand, Bouzas Maneiro’s only seeded opponent so far was No. 26 seed Ashlyn Krueger. This also happened to be the Spaniard’s only straight sets win. Placed just outside the Top-50, a strong outing in Montreal will ensure a career-best ranking for Bouzas Maneiro. With both players hunting for their maiden WTA Tour-level trophy, it is set to be a feisty duel.

Victoria Mboko vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro WTA National Bank Open 2025 Prediction

In terms of serve, Mboko has an advantage due to her height. However, Bouzas Maneiro has a classic Spanish fighting mentality that takes her a long way. Both players enjoy unloading on their groundstrokes, and change the direction of the ball extremely well. One of the hallmarks of Mboko’s win over Gauff was her ability to beat the defensive prowess of the World No. 2. Backed by the raucous Canadian crowd, we believe she will pip this battle.

Prediction: Victoria Mboko in three sets.
