The achievement by Mboko that only Serena Williams surpasses in precocity

Victoria Mboko is making history with what she has achieved at just 18 years old. With her victory in the WTA Montreal 2025, the Canadian joined a select group of players who have won a title after defeating four Grand Slam winners during the tournament. Only Serena Williams surpassed her in precocity, as the American accomplished the feat at 17 years and 338 days at the US Open 1999. Mboko, at 18 years and 335 days, defeated Sofia Kenin, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and Naomi Osaka in the competition.

4 - Victoria Mboko is the second-youngest player in the Open Era to defeat four former Women’s Singles Major champions in a single tournament, older only than Serena Williams at the US Open 1999. Incredible.#OBN25 | @OBNmontreal @WTA pic.twitter.com/z1b76TnVGT
