Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko reached her first career WTA Tour semifinal with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro on Monday night at the National Bank Open. She will face Elena Rybakina, who advanced when Marta Kostyuk retired due to injury.

Mboko is the first Canadian to reach the WTA 1000 event's semi-finals since Bianca Andreescu's title run in 2019 and she's also the youngest woman to reach the semis since Belinda Bencic 's 2015 win in Toronto. She has only lost one set from her six matches in Montreal, that coming in the round of 32 against the Czech Republic’s Marie Bouzkova.
