Coco Gauff credited 18-year-old Victoria Mboko’s “high-level tennis” after falling in straight sets to the teen at the National Bank Open.

Coco Gauff was once again denied a berth in the semifinal of the Canadian Open. This time, the opponent was teen sensation Victoria Mboko, who breezed past the two-time Grand Slam singles champion with a 6-1, 6-4 scoreline.

Mboko is the first Canadian to advance to the quarterfinals in Montreal since Bianca Andreescu in 2019 and is now the youngest Canadian to defeat a No. 1 seed at the National Bank Open.
