A big market mover in the betting for the Women’s US Open this year has been Victoria Mboko. The Canadian teenager has been in career-best form, reaching her first ever WTA 1000 final at the National Bank Open. However, it has been her levels of performance that have really caught the eye in Montreal.
The 18-year-old stunned the home crowd in the round of 16 after dominating top-seed Coco Gauff, dropping just five games in the straight sets win. Mboko continued her progression in the previous round, battling back from a set down to overcome former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.

A sign of her excellent performances is the fact that she has won each of her last four matches without dropping a set. Over that period, she has eliminated three seeded rivals, which includes an excellent showing against Clara Tauson in the previous round.
