US EditionCanada’s Victoria Mboko defeats Naomi Osaka to win National Bank Open title
MONTREAL, CANADA, AUG 8 – Mboko, 18, defeated four Grand Slam champions including Osaka and earned nearly $752,275 in prize money, becoming the first Canadian winner since 2019, officials said.
- Victoria Mboko, an 18-year-old Canadian, won the National Bank Open Women’s Singles final on August 7, 2025, in Montreal by defeating Naomi Osaka 2-6, 6-4, 6-1.
- Mboko’s victory capped a 12-day tournament where she rose from a wildcard to champion, beating four Grand Slam champions including Osaka, Gauff, Rybakina, and Kenin.
- Mboko’s victory made her the first Canadian to claim the title after Bianca Andreescu’s 2019 win, which had broken a half-century drought dating back to Faye Urban’s triumph in 1969.
- Mboko earned US$752,275, nearly double her career prize money so far, and will be seeded at the U.S. Open; Osaka recently returned after a 15-month break following the birth of her daughter Shai in July 2023.
- Mboko’s breakthrough suggests her potential as a rising star in tennis and marks a significant milestone for Canadian women’s tennis after years without a homegrown winner.
