Mboko wins Montreal as new star is born, Shelton secures first 1000 title
Description
The Canada Open delivered high drama and history! Wildcard sensation Victoria Mboko, just 18, thrilled home fans with a stunning run to her first title that included defeating 4 Grand Slam champions. Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they discuss what impressed them most throughout the event and whether we are looking at a potential future World No. 1. They also talk about Naomi Osaka's up turn in form but wonder whether the crowd had an impact on her mentally and was it really an accident to not praise Mboko in the post match ceremony.
Elsehwere brilliant Ben Shelton claimed his maiden Masters 1000 crown in a nail-biting final over Karen Khachanov. We break down Shelton’s growing rivalry with fellow American Taylor Fritz — and who really has the edge and wonder why Khachnov isn't more celebrated on tour. We also preview a stacked Cincinnati Open draw featuring the returns of Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Aryna Sabalenka, with bold predictions and fan reflections on how this revamped US Open lead-up is shaping the season (spoiler alert: bring back one week Masters!).
