Who is Victoria Mboko? The surging Canadian youngster who won her first WTA title
An 18-year-old tennis prodigy storming through a WTA event, knocking out ranked players and winning the title for the first time in their career. No, we're not talking about Emma Raducanu's run to the US Open final in 2021, but instead Victoria Mboko's eerily similar surge to the final of the Canadian Open in Montreal. Yet, where Raducanu's charge from qualifier to title winner came out of the blue, Mboko's run feels more like the culmination of a superb season. The teenager began 2025 ranked outside the top 300 players on the women's tour, but a breakthrough year saw her win 22 successive matches in January and February to clinch four ITF singles titles. By early May, her win-loss record for the season was 33–3. Her success sent her inside the top 200 in the rankings and earned her a wildcard entry into a first WTA 1000 main draw at the Miami Open where she defeated Camila Osorio in the first round. Mboko then qualified for the Italian Open and was beaten by Coco Gauff in the second round despite taking the opening set off the American. Two grand slam appearances followed, the first at the French Open, where Mboko fought through qualifying and made it to the third round, and the second at Wimbledon, where she lost to Hailey Baptiste. But the best was yet to come. Mboko was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but was raised in Toronto and is a Canadian citizen. The National Bank Open is her 'home' tournament, and a straight-sets win over Kimberly Birrell in the opening round kickstarted her remarkable run. That victory shot her to a career-best No 85 in the world rankings, but her run through the tournament in Montreal is set to propel her inside the top 50. On her way to the semi-finals, she dropped just one set, against the Czech Republic's Marie Bouzkova, having seen off experienced threats such as Sofia Kenin and Gauff in a rematch of their Italian Open meeting. Mboko was the superior player this time around and swept the No 1 seed aside 6-1, 6-4 in the round of 16. Onlookers may have thought her remarkable tournament would end in the last four, as she was drawn against 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, but Mboko revealed how strong her mental game is alongside an impressive physical performance. Rybakina stormed through the first set, winning it 6-1, and had a match point in the second, which Mboko managed to save. After that, she dug deep to take the set before clinching a deciding set tie break in front of adoring home supporters to become the first Canadian to beat three former grand slam champions in a single WTA event in the Open era. 'I had everyone supporting me and pushing me through. Without you guys, I don't think I would've been able to pull this through,' she said after defeating Rybakina. Mboko was just the third wildcard to reach the final at the Canadian Open in the Open era, after Monica Seles in 1995 and Simona Halep in 2015. She faced Naomi Osaka for the chance to win a first WTA title, the four-time grand slam champion having booked her place in a WTA final for the first time since Miami in 2022. Osaka, the first Japanese player to reach the final at the Canadian Open and had something to prove after a lean period in her own career. Yet, Mboko's fairytale run could not be denied as the teenager came from a set down to clinch a 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory and become only the third Canadian to win their home event. Winning the title in Montreal is the crowning achievement of Mboko's incredible year, but it is only the start of what could be a fascinating career for the Canadian teenager. This triumph will be just a stepping stone for Mboko, who has a bright future ahead of her.

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero signs new contract until 2029
Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has ended uncertainty over his future by signing a new long-term contract at the club. The 27-year-old Argentina centre-back, who had been heavily linked with a move to Atletico Madrid earlier this summer, was named as Spurs' new skipper on Wednesday following the departure of Son Heung-min. Romero had entered the final two years of his previous deal, but has put pen to paper on new terms running until 2029, the PA news agency understands. This news will be a major boost to new Tottenham boss Thomas Frank, who fielded several questions on the topic of Romero's commitment in Friday's press conference – days after he named him captain. 'I see a very big and very good player. What I like about him and why I have chosen him as captain is his leadership qualities on the pitch,' Frank explained. 'There is a big respect for him from the players. Off the pitch as well he also sets the standards. 'The staff have said to me they've never seen him train that well. He's in a very good place. I see a player that will want to lead the team and push the team.' Centre-back Romero first joined Spurs in 2021 on loan from Atalanta before the transfer was made permanent a year later. The 27-year-old has been critical of the club previously, pointedly saying last December that the spending of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea every year were 'things to imitate' because then Tottenham 'could easily be competing for the title every year' with the 'structure' they have in place. He also sent out a cryptic message on social media in the wake of Ange Postecoglou's dismissal in June and praised his achievements 'despite the many obstacles that always existed and always will exist.' However, Romero proved his commitment by playing a crucial role in Tottenham's Europa League triumph in May, which ended a 17-year trophy drought for the club. Romero captained Spurs in the 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final and also wore the armband in both semi-final legs against Bodo/Glimt. The World Cup-winner was subsequently named Europa League Player of the Season after success in Bilbao and the first club trophy of his career added to an incredible haul of silverware at international level. After Romero helped Argentina to victory at the 2022 World Cup either side of Copa America triumphs, he will aim to lead Tottenham to further trophies under Frank. Full-back Djed Spence has also signed a new deal at Spurs. Versatile full-back Spence only signed fresh terms last October until 2028, but has been rewarded for a fine breakthrough campaign at Tottenham. Spence made 35 appearances in the 2024-25 campaign, after eventually being handed his full debut in December – two-and-a-half years after he first joined the club. After Spence was deemed a 'club signing' by former Tottenham boss Antonio Conte in 2022, he had mixed loans at Rennes, Leeds and Genoa, but forced his way into Postecoglou's plans and has quickly gained the trust of Frank.
