The World No. 2 had no answers to home favourite Victoria Mboko in a rather lopsided affair, resulting in a massive opening for Iga Swiatek in the tournament. Meanwhile, the ATP draw saw two massive seeds getting knocked out as well. Here&rsquo;s all you need to know about the major shocks from the first day of the Round of 16 in Toronto and Montreal:<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Victoria Mboko Gets Sweet Revenge Over Coco Gauff<\/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\">Pressure?

Ranked No. 85 in the world, Mboko produced a scintillating display of tennis to oust the reigning Roland Garros champion on Centre Court. The deciding factors in this match were the second serve and break point conversion rate. While the hometown hero looked assured on second serve and converted 4 out of 5 break points, Gauff failed to capitalise on a single opportunity. The two-time Grand Slam champion also served 6 double faults &ndash; adding to her tally of 37 from her previous two encounters.<\/p><p>By virtue of her humongous win in 1 hour and 2 minutes, Mboko has become the youngest Canadian quarterfinalist at the National Bank Open in nearly four decades. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s incredible,&rdquo; said the USA-born Canadian after dropping her racquet upon beating Gauff. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m so happy to beat such a great champion.&rdquo; Coming into the event as a wild card, Mboko is now No. 53 in the live rankings.

The Australian dropped a closely contested opening set, before outhitting the Dane from the baseline. While it happened to be a second consecutive win over a former Top-5 player for Popyrin, the 22-year-old gave up his lead in the H2H. Rune came into the tournament after suffering a back injury that forced him to withdraw from the Citi DC Open.<\/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=\"Alexei Popyrin Locks Horns with Holger Rune &#128293; | Toronto 2025 Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5nGYxtJJtQI?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>Earlier in the day, Casper Ruud&rsquo;s struggles on tour continued.
