Toronto teen Mboko extends perfect run to reach third round at French Open
PARIS — Toronto’s Victoria Mboko extended her dream run at the French Open with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Germany’s Eva Lys on Wednesday to reach the third round.
The 18-year-old Canadian hasn’t dropped a set through five matches — including three wins in qualifying — and has now posted back-to-back main-draw victories at the tour level for the first time.
She improved her season record to 42-5, with most of those wins coming on the lower-tier ITF circuit, where she’s captured five titles.
Ranked No. 120, Mboko will next face Olympic champion and eighth seed Qinwen Zheng of China.
