Victoria Mboko’s emergence as one of Canada’s most promising tennis talents has captured the attention of fans and professionals alike. Among those who saw her potential early on is former Wimbledon finalist Genie Bouchard, who recently shared her admiration for Mboko’s game and demeanor. Bouchard’s reflections offer a glimpse into the kind of impact Mboko was making even as a young teenager.
Power Beyond Her Years
Bouchard recalled her first practice sessions with Mboko when she was just 14 or 15 years old. “She was smacking forehands and bowling me off the court,” Bouchard said, clearly impressed by the raw power and confidence Mboko displayed at such a young age. For someone who had competed at the highest levels of the sport, Bouchard’s reaction speaks volumes about the kind of presence Mboko brought to the court.
This early display of strength and skill wasn’t just a fluke—it was a sign of things to come. Those within the Canadian tennis community already knew they were witnessing the rise of a player with extraordinary potential.
Composure That Defies Age
What struck Bouchard even more than Mboko’s physical game was her mental composure. “She looked much more mature than her 18 years of age,” Bouchard noted. “You see her on the court and she’s handling it like she’s done it a hundred times.” That kind of poise is rare, especially in young athletes navigating the pressures of professional competition.
Mboko’s ability to stay cool under pressure and maintain focus during high-stakes matches has become one of her defining traits. It’s not just her talent that sets her apart—it’s the way she carries herself, with a calm confidence that belies her age.

Her combination of power, maturity, and grace on the court suggests that her journey is only beginning—and that she may soon be joining the ranks of Canada’s tennis greats.
