Victoria Mboko Shines in Miami Open Debut with Thrilling Victory
Let’s talk about Canadian tennis sensation Victoria Mboko—this young star is making waves in the sport! At just 18 years old, she’s proving to be a powerhouse on the court, and her latest victory at the Miami Open is turning heads.
On Wednesday, Mboko secured her first-ever main-draw win at the WTA level, marking a huge milestone in her promising career. She battled through a grueling three-set match against world No. 54 Camila Osorio of Colombia, ultimately sealing the win with a 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 scoreline. The match lasted an intense two hours and 32 minutes, and Mboko’s ability to stay composed under pressure was nothing short of impressive. She delivered a solid 68.4% first-service success rate and broke Osorio’s serve three times out of nine opportunities—showcasing not only her skill but her resilience.

This victory means she advances to the second round, where she’ll face off against 10th seed Paula Badosa of Spain. That’s going to be another challenging test, but given Mboko’s current form, she’s definitely a player to watch.
Mboko’s journey to this moment has been nothing short of incredible. Born in North Carolina but raised in Burlington, Ontario, she has been making a name for herself on the ITF World Tour level in 2025. Her stats are mind-blowing—she’s racked up a 27-1 record this season, with five titles already under her belt. What’s even more impressive is that she started the season with a jaw-dropping 22-match winning streak, without dropping a single set. That’s the longest winning streak by a Canadian woman since the International Tennis Federation started tracking records in 1994. She’s now surpassed the previous record of 18 consecutive wins, set by Vancouver’s Rebecca Marino in 2010.
Now ranked a career-high 162nd in the world, Mboko is making her debut in the main singles draw of a WTA 1000 event. This isn’t her first time on the WTA Tour, but it’s certainly her biggest stage yet. Back in 2022, she played in a 250-level event in Granby, Quebec, but was eliminated in the first round. Clearly, she’s come a long way since then, and her recent success shows just how much she has grown as a player.
With her Miami Open journey underway, the excitement around Mboko is only growing. She’s got the talent, the drive, and the momentum to keep pushing forward. As she gears up for her next match against Badosa, tennis fans around the world will be watching to see if she can keep her winning streak alive and continue making history for Canadian tennis.
