The defending French Open champion, Coco Gauff, bowed out to the homegrown Victoria Mboko in straight sets, 1-6, 4-6, in the round of 16 at the Canadian Open.

Coco Gauff credited 18-year-old Victoria Mboko’s “high-level tennis” after falling in straight sets to the teen at the National Bank Open.

Coco Gauff was once again denied a berth in the semifinal of the Canadian Open. This time, the opponent was teen sensation Victoria Mboko, who breezed past the two-time Grand Slam singles champion with a 6-1, 6-4 scoreline.
