Tennis star Naomi Osaka made her grand return to a WTA 1000 final on Thursday night, when she faced 18-year-old Canadian sensation Victoria Mboko in the title match at the National Bank Open. It was her first WTA 1000 final appearance since 2022—a long-awaited return to form for the 27-year-old, who has been struggling on the court for months now.

Victoria Mboko didn’t even have a picture on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) website before the Canadian Open in Montreal. Now, the 18-year-old has defeated four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka in the first WTA Tour final of her career.
