Canadian Teen Victoria Mboko Wins Maiden WTA Title Over Naomi Osaka in Montreal

Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko captured her first WTA Tour title by staging a comeback victory over four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka at the 2025 Canadian Open in Montreal. Ranked 85th before the tournament and starting the year outside the top 300, Mboko battled back from a set down to win 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, becoming only the third Canadian to win the event in the Open era. Mboko's remarkable run included defeating multiple Grand Slam champions, showcasing her rising status as a teenage star in women's tennis. Osaka, returning from maternity leave and playing her best WTA 1000 event since 2022, fought hard but faltered under pressure late in the match. On the men's side, British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool won the doubles title in Toronto, qualifying early for the ATP Finals, while Karen Khachanov advanced to the ATP Masters 1000 final after a tough match against Alexander Zverev. Mboko's breakthrough victory marks a career-defining moment and signals a new star in tennis.
