MONTREAL—Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko rallied to reach the National Bank Open final, beating ninth-seeded Elena Rybakina 1-6, 7-5, 7-6 (4) on Wednesday night.
The 18-year-old Mboko dropped to the court after Rybakina’s shot sailed long on match point as the crowd—lined with “Allez Vicky”—erupted. Mboko saved a match point in the third set and broke Rybakina twice to force the tiebreaker.
