Mboko vs Rybakina

WTA Montreal 🇨🇦

Mboko V. vs Rybakina E.

🧠 Form & Context

Victoria Mboko
• Home-court heroine: The 18-year-old Canadian is into her first WTA 1000 semifinal after a breakout run, including a stunning win over Coco Gauff (6–1, 6–4) and a composed performance vs Bouzas Maneiro (6–4, 6–2).
• Breakthrough momentum: Undefeated in straight-set matches this week, she’s now 7–4 vs. top-50 players in 2025, backed by five ITF hard-court titles.
• Confidence rising: Her aggressive returns and consistent depth off both wings have made her the fan-favorite story of the week in Montreal.

Elena Rybakina
• Powerhouse presence: Advanced over Kostyuk via retirement (6–1, 2–1) and has not dropped a set this week—her big-serving, flat-hitting style is in full flow.
• Semifinal barrier: Has struggled at this stage recently, losing five of her last six semis—but remains one of the tour’s top pressure players.
• Big-match pedigree: Former champion in Toronto (2021) and semifinalist here last year—her Slam experience and elite serving are major assets on this stage.
