Victoria Mboko continues to establish herself as one of the great breakthroughs on the women's circuit and is no longer going unnoticed by anyone. Her growth in recent months has led to prominent figures in tennis envisioning a bright future for the Canadian.

The latest to do so is Andy Roddick. The former world number 1 and champion of the 2003 US Open has not hesitated to make a bold prediction about the 19-year-old, who currently holds the best ranking of her career as world number 9, after reaching the quarterfinals in Indian Wells.

Roddick is clear: “She will win a Grand Slam”

The American left no room for doubts in his podcast Served about Mboko's potential. “Mboko will win a Grand Slam in the next two years. I needed to say it out loud,” he stated. The former world number 1 bases his prediction on the consistency that the Canadian is showing despite her young age. “She plays well every week. We talk about Sabalenka because she is in the position in all tournaments, but Mboko is not there yet, but if you look at her breakthrough last year, some injuries... maybe she ended the year with ups and downs. This year, she is reaching quarterfinals or more in practically every tournament.”

The former tennis player also focused on her competitive ability, especially in demanding matches. “She wins many tough three-set matches, and when she starts turning those wins into clearer two-set victories, which she will... she has only been on the circuit for eight months.” Additionally, he played down the impact of her defeats against top-level opponents. “Losing to Sabalenka doesn't worry me at all. She's a work in progress. She is physically strong and can handle the demands of high-level tennis. She impresses me more each time. She doesn’t need to play her best tennis to win matches,” he reassured.

For Roddick, Mboko's evolution is only a matter of time. The American even sets a deadline for his prediction. “Give me until late 2028, but I believe she will win a Grand Slam.”

The challenge of turning potential into major titles

Mboko's rise has been as rapid as it has been solid. At the beginning of 2025, she was outside the top 300, but her victory in the WTA 1000 in Canada, where she defeated four Grand Slam champions along the way, marked a definitive turning point in her career.

Since then, she has maintained an upward trajectory, despite some physical issues after that success. She closed 2025 by lifting the trophy in Hong Kong and has started 2026 with impressive consistency, reaching finals in Adelaide and Doha, as well as achieving notable quarterfinals in Indian Wells, where she fell to Sabalenka. Roddick highlights precisely that ability to compete even without showcasing her best form. “She doesn’t need to play her best tennis to win matches. She is very good even when not playing well in the early rounds, but still reaches the quarters. That is very important for a young player.”

With the Miami Open as the immediate challenge, the Canadian continues to gain experience on the big stages. In Florida, she starts as the tenth seed, and she's already in the third round after defeating Blinkova in just 1 hour (6-2, 6-0). So far, Mboko is taking solid steps forward. And if Roddick's words come true, the definitive leap towards the highest echelons of women's tennis is getting closer.
