Naomi Osaka Sets Up 2025 Canadian Open Final With Teen Victoria Mboko
Former world no. 1 Naomi Osaka continued her impressive form in Montreal by reaching the Canadian Open final, where she will face local teen sensation Victoria Mboko. Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, defeated Danish 16th seed Clara Tauson 6-2, 7-6(7) on Wednesday night, advancing to her first WTA 1000 final in three years. The 27-year-old, who is now 49th in the world, saved two set points in the second set at 6-4 in the tiebreak after losing leads of 3-1 and 4-2 earlier in the set. With the victory, Osaka became the first Japanese player in the Open Era to reach the final at the Canadian Open. The two-time U.S. Open champion has struggled for form since returning from her maternity break last year, falling in the first round of this year's French Open and the third rounds at the Australian Open and Wimbledon. But the semifinal victory marks her best result since becoming a mom. When she faces 18-year-old Mboko in Thursday's final, Osaka will be chasing her first tour-level since the 2021 Australian Open. She last played at a WTA 1000 final in Miami in 2022, losing to eventual champion Iga Swiatek. Naomi Osaka vs Victoria Mboko Like Osaka, Mboko, too, has been in top form. The teenager has enjoyed a fairytale run in front of her home crowd – she rallied from a set down to knock out former Wimbledon champion and ninth seed Elena Rybakina 1-6, 7-5, 7-6(4) in the semifinals. Mboko, who also beat Coco Gauff in the last-16, saved a match point against Kazakh Rybakina en route to reaching her maiden WTA 1000 final. Ranked 85th before the tournament, the teenager will break into the Top 40 regardless of her result in the final. 'I had everyone supporting me and pushing me through,' Mboko said in her on-court interview after her three-set thriller that lasted nearly three hours. 'Without you guys, I don't think I would've been able to pull this through.' Osaka's title clash with Mboko marks the first time since the introduction of the WTA-1000 tournament level in 2009, that two players ranked outside the Top 40 will face off in the final.

Tennis Star Elena Rybakina Receives Disturbing Messages After Upset Loss
Tennis Star Elena Rybakina Receives Disturbing Messages After Upset Loss originally appeared on The Spun. As if blowing a match at the National Bank Open wasn't bad enough, Elena Rybakina has received countless disturbing messages on social media. During Wednesday night's semifinal, Rybakina was in command of the deciding set against 18-year-old Victoria Mboko. However, it all fell apart for the former Wimbledon champion when she was serving for the match. She eventually dropped a third set tiebreak to the Canadian teenager. Immediately after Rybakina's match against Mboko went final, tennis fans went on Instagram to leave nasty comments on her most recent post. "The way you melt down during matches, and the ridiculous unforced errors you make most be studied," one fan commented. "Get your head fixed, this is not normal," a second fan said. "Find a job and stop with tennis, thanks," an Instagram user wrote. "You're a disgrace to the tennis world," another user said. "Quit playing for real," another fan said. "Can't handle the pressure." Unfortunately, this has been a recent trend in tennis. Katie Boulter dealt with similar messages after the French Open. "It becomes more apparent every single time you go on your phone," Boulter told the BBC. "I think it just kind of shows how vulnerable we are, you really don't know if this person is on site, if they're nearby or if they know where you live or anything like that. As far as death threats, it's just not something you want to be reading straight after an emotional loss. A lot of the time you get it after you win as well." Jessica Pegula also receivede death threats earlier this season. "These betters are insane and delusional and I don't allow dms and try to remember when to shut my comments off during tournament weeks but they always find a way to my timeline," Pegula said. "This stuff has never really bothered me much but does any other sport deal with this to our level? I'd love to know because it seems to be predominately tennis? It's so disturbing." We truly hope fans stop resorting to this behavior, but we're not so sure that'll happen. With sports gambling on the rise, stuff like this will continue to happen. Tennis Star Elena Rybakina Receives Disturbing Messages After Upset Loss first appeared on The Spun on Aug 7, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Nick Robertson, Maple Leafs Avoid Arbitration With $1.825M One-Year Contract Agreement
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Nick Robertson have reportedly reached a settlement ahead of their arbitration case that was scheduled for Sunday. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, both sides agreed to a contract with a $1.825 million average annual value. The Leafs confirmed it is a one-yeal deal. When a player elects for salary arbitration, the team can choose whether it would be a one or two-year deal, except in the case when the second year eats into the eligibility of unrestricted fee agency. Toronto could have opted for two years in Robertson's case. According to it's a one-year deal, which reduced the available cap space on Toronto's books to $1,107,222 based on a roster of 24 players. Robertson was the last of the 11 player-elected salary arbitration cases in the NHL to be settled, thereby avoiding a hearing. On Friday, Friedman reported that the Leafs submitted comparables with an ask of $2.25 million while the team came in with $1.2 million. Had the case not been settled ahead of the hearing, an arbitrator would have had the final say on Robertson's compensation for the 2025-26 season. Toronto Maple Leafs News and Community Toronto Maple Leafs news, video, analysis and community on The Hockey News Follow all Leafs news at The deal gives Robertson a massive $950,000 raise from his 2024-25 salary. The player signed a one-year, $875,000 deal in September after a summer that included a trade request away from Toronto. 'He's Gone Through Some Stuff Here': Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving Excited to Have Nick Robertson Back A new coach and a clean slate await Nick Robertson who reports to Maple Leafs training camp next week. Robertson established career highs in goals (15) and games (69) last season but was limited to just three of Toronto's 13 playoff games due to lineup decisions. With star forward Mitch Marner departing the Leafs for the Vegas Golden Knights this summer, players like Robertson will be counted on to fill the void Marner leaves behind on a by-committee basis. Drafted by the Leafs in the second round (53rd overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft, Robertson has 32 goals and 24 assists in 156 career games spread over five seasons. (Top image credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images) Maple Leafs Risk Major Mistake If Nick Robertson Isn't Signed Or Traded Before Arbitration It should come as no surprise that Nick Robertson's pending player-elected arbitration case is the last of all cases this offseason to reach a conclusion. After all, Robertson's tenure with the Toronto Maple Leafs has undeniably been complicated. Drafted by the Maple Leafs in the second round (53rd overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft, his six years in Toronto have been filled with more downs than ups. Maple Leafs Forward Nick Robertson Files For Salary Arbitration, Timeline, Reasons And What's Next? For the first time in his tenure with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Nick Robertson has leverage. The forward filed for salary arbitration on Saturday, which allows a third party to decide his compensation for the upcoming season.
