Victoria Mboko is on a roll. The 18-year-old tennis sensation continued a wild run at the National Bank Open in Montreal on Wednesday with an incredible comeback win over WTA world No. 12 Elena Rybakina in three sets (1-6, 7-5, 7-6).
Rybakina is the third former major champion the Canadian native has defeated at the tournament, entering the women's singles draw as a wild card and taking down world No. 2 Coco Gauff and No. 27 Sofia Kenin before the semifinal match Wednesday. Mboko only took one game in the first set against Rybakina, but battled all the way back and fought off a match point for a gutsy victory in a third-set tiebreak.
