The young Canadian wildcard stunned top seeded Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-4 in the round-of-16 at the National Bank Open on Saturday to extend her Cinderella run. Next, she will face an unseeded opponent, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain. Mboko has become the headliner in Montreal.

Ranked outside the top 300 entering the year, Mboko is now projected to rise to at least No. 55 next week. And who’s to say it stops there. She was far better than Gauff and she’s into the quarterfinals at a WTA 1000 in just her seventh tour-level main draw.
