Barbora Krejcikova vs Victoria Mboko prediction
One of the most exciting young breakout stars in women’s Tennis takes to the court at Flushing Meadows for the first time on the back of the biggest achievement in her career and one of the most notable results of the entire season. The Canadian Open crowd and the entire world of tennis fell in love with 18-year-old Victoria Mboko, whose incredible play saw her embark on a fairytale run which led to her defeating Naomi Osaka in the final to win her first WTA title.
The big question now is whether Mboko can follow that up in Queens. When taking into account how impressive she looked on the hard court surface, her amazing athleticism and never-say-die attitude, many expect Mboko to make a deep run at the US Open. But despite being seeded, the teenager has been handed a nightmare first round draw against a proven big-game player who knows what it takes to win a Grand Slam or two.
Barbora Krejcikova’s aggression and power will challenge Mboko’s defensive ability but the US Open hasn’t been the best environment for her in recent years, having not reached the first round at Queens since 2021. Mboko has so much momentum behind her and her confidence on court must be at an all-time high. Backing her to take the scalp of Krejcikova is a play well worth making.
