Claim Welcome Bonus🇨🇦 Victoria Mboko
Wild-card Victoria Mboko (WTA No. 85) has had an epic run—landing wins over top-seeded Coco Gauff, former Grand Slam champion Sofia Kenin, and even surviving a match point against Elena Rybakina to reach her first WTA 1000 final. The magnitude of her surge captures her rise from outside the top 300 at the beginning of 2025 to a projected live ranking inside the top 35. Her form this week was indeed calm under pressure, making her the first Canadian to defeat three former Grand Slam champions at the same WTA tournament. Fans chanted "Allez Vicky" as she won the Rybakina semi in a punishing 2-hour-and-46-minute battle. The story behind her rise from multiple ITF event wins this year adds a special layer to her narrative.
🇯🇵 Naomi Osaka
The former world No. 1 and four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka (WTA No. 49) has finally rediscovered her form in Montreal, where she reached the first WTA 1000 final since Miami 2022, with a calm 6-2, 7-6(7) defeat of Clara Tauson. This tournament could be hers most complete in many years: big serving and subtle rally tolerance, both shining through her resurgence. A run like this guarantees her return to the top 25 rankings, and what a meaningful boost that is for her. Osaka is also getting a strategic benefit; by playing shorter matches this entire week, more energy can be conserved for the final. Vivid yet: The composed veteran presence and Osaka versus the fiery, fearless breakthrough run of Mboko.
