Canadian tennis is in good hands. This was demonstrated by their top rackets during the past season, who continue with that dynamic at the beginning of this year. With Felix Auger Aliassime and Victoria Mboko as protagonists, the Canadian team achieved another victory in the group stage of the United Cup 2026.

The team's on-court performance was so good that Felix Auger Aliassime even started thinking about the upcoming Olympic Games, a sort of statement looking towards the future. These were the words of the Canadian team at a press conference after defeating China in Australia.

Felix Auger Aliassime analyzes the level of Canadian tennis

"I'm very happy because it's the first match of the year for both of us, our first time playing mixed doubles. There are many debuts, which also brings a lot of uncertainty. Obviously, she had a very good year, and I did too. There's a little break, and you don't know how you'll feel stepping onto the court. You hope for the best. Today, I believe we were close to our best level in many moments. I'm very pleased with the 3-0 victory, no doubt," explained Felix Auger Aliassime at the press conference.

"It was great to share the court with Victoria. Even during doubles, I was thinking about the upcoming Olympic Games, thinking that this could be good. If we both continue to play good tennis and stay healthy, many things can happen. I was very happy to see her great progress last year. It's always good to have strong male and female players on the circuit. You feel they push each other to be better. It's not just Vicki, Leylah is still there, Bianca is back. There are many good players, both in men and women."

Victoria Mboko, from less to more

"At the beginning of the match, I felt a bit disoriented, getting used to the court and the balls. I'm glad I found my rhythm, found the momentum to change the course of the match. Once I got into a rhythm and did what I used to do, I discovered that, in a way, I was more myself. By the end, I felt more comfortable, especially in the final games, playing my tennis from start to finish. It was a very good feeling."
