Canadian tennis' future hope Victoria Mboko (WTA 85th) earned the most important victory of her career so far on Saturday when she defeated world number two Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-4 in just 62 minutes at the Montreal WTA 1000 tournament and advanced to the top eight.
World number two Coco Gauff suffered a surprise defeat at the WTA 1000 National Bank Open tennis tournament in Montreal, Canada, ending her fight in the round of 16.
The number 1 of the set list is already hanging in the eighth elfinal – on the native Victoria Mboko, world number 85.
Last week, Victoria Mboko needed a pass to get to the main table. Her standings – 85th in the world – weren't enough for a direct entrance. Today, she's here in quarterfinals, after throwing out in an hour and dusting the tournament's favorite, Coco Gauff. A monumental feat. Perhaps the biggest surprise in the history of the women's tournament in Montreal, alongside Kim Clijsters' package against Stephanie Dubois, almost 20 years ago.
