The 18-year-old produced a comeback for the ages to defeat four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka 2-6 6-4 6-1 in the final of the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/tennis\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>National Bank Open<\/a>. The match created such a massive buzz that play had to be paused midway during the men&rsquo;s final in Toronto, as the fans erupted in joy. But this victory means so much more than just a trophy for Mboko.<\/p><p>Off the court, Mboko is a polite conversationalist with reserved characteristics. Not too long ago at the Foro Italico, the Canadian was interrupted by loud laughter and chatter from another table, and instinctively apologised. But once she enters the court, there is no mercy from the prodigious talent. Mboko began the 2025 campaign at No. 333 in the world, and started her year with a 22-match unbeaten run on the ITF circuit. After winning the Canadian Open, her record stands at an unimaginable 54-9 in all competitions.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Canada&rsquo;s Victoria Mboko wins National Bank Open\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g9F9NfFkgrI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>&ldquo;When I had that winning moment and seeing so many people standing up and cheering for me, it was kind of a surreal experience,&rdquo; said Mboko after capturing her first tour-level championship. &ldquo;I would have never thought something like this would have come so suddenly. It just proves that your dreams are closer than they seem.&rdquo; As the teen sensation prepares for the final stretch of the US Open swing, let&rsquo;s look at the records she managed to shatter on Thursday.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Victoria Mboko&rsquo;s Canadian Open Run is Extra Special<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Youngest women in the Open Era to defeat four Grand Slam champions in a single tournament:<br><br>17 years 11 months &ndash; Serena Williams, US Open 1999<br>18 years 11 months &ndash; Victoria Mboko, Montreal 2025<br><br>HERSTORY. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JRYzv4oVs0\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/JRYzv4oVs0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bastien Fachan (@BastienFachan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BastienFachan\/status\/1953610837559521736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>It seemed like a fairytale was being scripted on Centre Court &ndash; despite dropping the opener, Mboko looked unfazed. Matching Osaka stroke for stroke, the Canadian basically outhit her Japanese counterpart from the baseline. From time to time, she pulled out a flawless drop shot that would send the Montreal crowd into manic mode. After easing through the deciding set, Mboko dropped her racquet and fell to her knees in ecstasy.<\/p><p>Victoria Mboko is now just the second Canadian woman to win the National Bank Open singles crown, after Bianca Andreescu (Faye Urban won the Canadian Championships). With the win, Mboko will jump from the 85th spot to World No. 24, when the new rankings are released. As a result, she has secured a seeding at Flushing Meadows. The first woman since Andreescu to win her maiden tour-level title at a WTA-1000 event, Mboko is also the second youngest woman in the Open Era to beat four Grand Slam winners in the same event.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">Allez Vicky! &#127464;&#127462;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OBN25?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#OBN25<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/j7G9OL43Dc\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/j7G9OL43Dc<\/a><\/p>&mdash; wta (@WTA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WTA\/status\/1953614723255005685?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>It may be early days, but the immense rise of young Victoria Mboko spells hope for the future of Canadian tennis.
