Every week, GTA Weekly Sports celebrates one standout performer who rose above the rest — whether it’s on the court, the ice, the pitch, or the world stage. This athlete didn’t just play — they made headlines, broke records, or inspired a community.
This week, the spotlight shines on an 18-year-old tennis sensation from Toronto who’s rewriting Canadian history on the international stage.
Victoria Mboko
Age: 18
Current WTA Ranking: No. 162 (Career-high)
Streak: 20 consecutive main-draw wins (ITF), 5 titles in 2025
Why She Wins:
This week, Toronto’s own Victoria Mboko didn’t just win — she made history. The teenage tennis phenom broke a 30-year Canadian record for the most consecutive main-draw wins on the ITF Tour and leads all players worldwide with 25 match wins and 5 titles in 2025.
Her stellar streak has not only rocketed her into the WTA Top 200, but it also earned her a main-draw wildcard at the prestigious Miami Open — her WTA 1000 debut.
What Makes It Special:
At just 18 years old, Mboko is proving she’s the future of Canadian tennis. While the Leafs and Raptors continue to fight through their seasons, Mboko has already made national sports history in the first quarter of the year.
She isn’t just the Athlete of the Week — she’s one of the biggest breakout stars in Canadian sports this year.
Check back next week to see who claims the spotlight — because in the GTA, greatness is always on the rise.
