Naomi Osaka faced backlash after forgetting to congratulate 18-year-old Vicky Mboko during the Canadian Open trophy ceremony

Mboko has played so much tennis this season for one reason — because she wins and wins and wins some more. She’s just doing it on ever-bigger stages. In addition to Osaka and Rybakina, she beat world No. 2 Coco Gauff and 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin on the way to the title.

Canadian tennis sensation Victoria Mboko defied the odds and won her first Women’s Tennis Association title in the Canadian Open final, defeating seven-time WTA title winner Naomi Osaka.
