Victoria Mboko is into the Doha final and is hoping for a second WTA 1000 title of her career after winning on home soil last year.
It’s been an incredible week for Mboko so far as she has defeated Mirra Andreeva and Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina on her way to the Doha final.
The talented Canadian has played some flawless tennis and is now on the verge of a second WTA 1000 title.
However, it’s not just her talent that is shining through as her maturity is evident to see as well and that will only get better with experience.
After her semi-final win Mboko spoke about reaching the final and continuing to stay in the moment, “It’s kind of crazy,” Mboko told the WTA website.
“I think this came relatively fast, but it’s a nice feeling. It’s nice to see that, to have that milestone, to see that number. So, yeah, I’m pretty happy with that. I don’t really set goals for myself, just because I like to surprise myself along the way. You never know what’s going to happen in tennis. You can have high moments, you can also have low moments.
“I think just being positive with myself with whatever happens, it’s all a part of the process.”
As a result of Mboko’s magical run in Doha, the Canadian will make her debut in the world’s top ten as she continues to impress on the biggest stages.
That will hope to continue for Mboko when she takes on Karolina Muchova in Saturday’s final in Qatar.
The meeting on Saturday will be the first meeting between the two players as the winner of the first WTA 1000 title of the season is on the line.
