Alcaraz Confident, Venus Returns as US Open Welcomes Rising Contender Mboko

Victoria Mboko, ranked 23rd, enters the U.S. Open after winning the National Bank Open, having defeated four Grand Slam champions and earning nearly $750,000 in prize money.

  • On Monday, Victoria Mboko will make her U.S. Open debut as the 22nd seed against Barbora Krejcikova in Louis Armstrong Stadium, Flushing Meadows, Queens, N.Y.
  • After her Montreal title, Mboko won the National Bank Open by defeating Naomi Osaka and three other Grand Slam champions, and she said, `Everything has happened super quickly`.
  • Mboko's form this season shows a 51-9 record and a rise from No. 85 in July, managing a wrist injury with precautionary extra wrapping in New York.
  • Her Canadian Open win means Victoria Mboko is Canada's first tournament champion since Bianca Andreescu's 2019 breakthrough and joins surprise champions like Emma Raducanu in recent years.
  • A tough draw means Mboko could face 10th-seed Emman Navarro in round three and fifth-seed Mirra Andreeva in round four, demanding a challenging path forward.
