Victoria Mboko’s Secret Weapon That Sets Her Apart on the WTA Tour
Let’s talk about one of the most exciting young names in women’s tennis right now — Victoria Mboko. If you’ve been following the Canadian Open this week, you’ve probably already heard her name buzzing around. At just 18 years old, she’s been turning heads with her performance — especially after her huge win over Coco Gauff and a dominant showing against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the quarter-finals. But beyond the wins, there’s something about her game that’s making people really take notice.
Victoria’s coach, Nathalie Tauziat — a former top pro herself — recently spoke to reporters about what makes her player stand out among this rising generation on the WTA Tour. And according to her, it’s not just about power or confidence, though Mboko has both. What really sets her apart is her serve.

Now, that might sound basic, but in Tauziat’s words, “not a lot of players have a good serve.” And she’s right. Among the young stars making waves, very few possess the natural strength and technique on serve that Mboko does. It’s not just about the number of aces — though she’s averaging an impressive 7.4 per match over her last five — it’s about how that serve sets up the rest of her game. It gives her an edge right from the start of each point.
Compared to her peers like Mirra Andreeva and Alexandra Eala, Mboko is clearly ahead in this department. Her first and second serve point percentages are among the best of the group, and while she does have areas to clean up — like second serve consistency and limiting double faults — the raw talent is unmistakable.
Tauziat also emphasized another trait that’s harder to quantify: the mindset. She described Mboko as someone who genuinely believes in herself, who loves to learn and improve, and who steps onto the court with one goal — to win. But she added a cautionary note too. Rising stars can lose focus when success comes fast. For Mboko, maintaining her priorities and continuing to work hard will be essential if she wants to stay at the top.
So while the tennis world is buzzing about new talent, Victoria Mboko isn’t just another name in the mix — she might be the one to watch. And if she keeps serving like this, both literally and figuratively, her rise might just be getting started.
