Victoria Mboko wants to be the surprise of the Open de Australia 2026. The Canadian is competing in her first major in Melbourne and has already reached the round of 16 after defeating Clara Tauson by 7-6(5), 5-7, 6-3. However, her aspirations to be the revelation of the first major of the season may be cut short because her next opponent is none other than the world number one: Aryna Sabalenka.

But the Canadian is looking forward to the moment she faces the Belarusian for the first time: "I think it's great. I have never played against her before and it will be a very different experience. I suppose we will also play on Rod Laver. I have never played on the central court of a Grand Slam either. There are many first times. I am very excited. It is something that not many people have the opportunity to experience and doing it on Sunday is, in my opinion, really great. I am going to show what I'm worth."
