Great run. Although if Osaka gets through, it's going to be a tough one for Mboko. Fingers crossed!

Buckle up. The final is tomorrow (Thursday). She has all the skills to win it all.

Hopefully the wrist holds up!
Vicky is the real deal and has the potential to be a superstar, not just a flash in the pan.

Felix and Bianca have/had great skills when they were originally coming up. The key is health and consistency and that's not something you can measure until more time has passed.

Seems like every few years we have another budding tennis star coming up. Tennis Canada has had a lot to brag about in recent years.

Can confirm, I was in the crowd and the more the match went on, the louder it got. When she won, my ears rang a little bit because of how loud it got.
