Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko defied a swollen right wrist to come from a set down on Friday to outwit the four-time major champion Naomi Osaka and claim her first senior tour title at the Canadian Open.

The 18-year-old, who was given an invitation into the main draw by the organisers, won 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 and joins Faye Urban and Bianca Andreescu as the only home-town players to take the crown at the 133-year-old tournament since tennis became open to professional players in 1968.
