After four consecutive defeats, Mboko returns to victory in Tokyo

Le 21/10/2025 à 06h16 par Arthur Millot

She hadn't tasted victory since her Canadian title. In Tokyo, Victoria Mboko broke her losing streak. By dominating Bianca Andreescu, the young Canadian gave herself a breath of fresh air.

Some victories matter more than others. Victoria Mboko's win this Tuesday in Tokyo is one of them. After weeks of frustration and four consecutive defeats, the young Canadian prodigy authoritatively dominated her compatriot Bianca Andreescu (6-3, 6-3) to claim her first victory since her triumph in Montreal last August.

Facing an Andreescu who was invited by the tournament organizers, Mboko showed solid form. Driven by an aggressive and precise game, she made the difference from the first exchanges, imposing her rhythm and freshness. In just 1 hour and 15 minutes, she extinguished her senior's hopes.

Thanks to this success, Mboko qualifies for the second round, where she will face Germany's Eva Lys, who came through the qualifiers.
