Not a bad last 13 months for Canadian tennis, even though it had its share of disappointments.

NBO 2025: 🏆Vicky Mboko
Paris 2024 Olympics: 🥉Dabrowski, Auger-Aliassime

🎾🍁

With an expected rise to 26th in the WTA rankings, Victoria Mboko could be seeded at the U.S. Open.

After starting the NBO ranked 85th and being outside the top 300 to start the year.

Not too shabby.

That entire match was iconic for Canadian sports, and that final game, especially that dive, was outstanding.

What a tournament. Sports, eh?

Vicky Mboko. NBO champion, the third Canadian to win in the open era.

🏆🇨🇦VICKY MBOKO IS A CHAMPION!

The 18-year-old Canadian defeats 🇯🇵Naomi Osaka in a three-set grind to win the National Bank Open, capping off a crazy story that is just starting.

What a final match.

Tied it up from 40-15.

VICKY. MBOKO.

Diving, smart plays and battling to keep this game alive.

Oh my goodness Vicky Mboko.

Laying it on the line.

Somehow she got that. Wow.

It’s 5-1 for Vicky Mboko.

She’s a game away from winning the NBO now in front of a tense crowd in Montreal.

Trying to break Naomi Osaka now in what’s been a dominant third set — albeit a grind

Double break Mboko.

She's two games away from the NBO title, folks –– and is cruising through her wrist discomfort.

Vicky Mboko holds serve to make it 3-1 in the third set against Naomi Osaka after six duece points.

Four break points saved.

First serve hold of this set and it comes in a 10 minute battle of a game.

Three games away from the title now for Mboko.

Five dueces now, this game could cross 10 minutes soon.

An absolute grind between Mboko and Osaka

BREAK. Mboko.

Three straight breaks to start the third set, just like the second.

Osaka Loki g agitated, Mboko fighting through the wrist pain in a grind of a third set so far in this match.

Into a third set at the National Bank Open final in a wild game so far.

Incredible fight back from Vicky Mboko after looking out of sorts in the first set vs Naomi Osaka — as she did in the semifinal.

What a match so far.

The MLS Cup Playoffs schedule is out, and it currently has no BC Place conflicts, with SuperCross set for Nov. 15 this fall.

Wildcard: Oct. 22
Round 1: Oct 24 - Nov. 9
Round 2: Nov. 22-23
Round 3: Nov 29-30
MLS Cup: Dec. 6

The Champions Hockey League continues to evolve the game and has added a "no return" rule to ban regroups in overtime to increase scoring.

I love it. Bring it to the NHL yesterday.

Coming down to the wire in the NBO semifinal in Montreal.

Thomas Müller says Alphonso Davies gave him good recommendations on Vancouver, but that he had already decided after speaking with Sørensen.

Also, he's excited for the playoffs for the first time and he thinks the city is among the most beautiful in the world.

The fallout and altercation between head coach Roberto De Zerbi and Ismaël Koné was extensively covered in the club’s documentary.

A tough watch, and odd Marseille would release such a situation and focus on it.

Glad Koné is at Sassuolo now.

🇨🇦Vicky Mboko is the fourth Canadian woman to reach the NBO semis in the open era and has done so at just 18.

Outstanding all around, and she's made this run look easy, too.

A Wednesday semifinal against 🇰🇿Elena Rybakina and IGA Stadium will be rocking.

🇨🇦VICKY. MBOKO. ADVANCES!

The 18-year-old Canadian dominates Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-4, 6-2 and is into the semifinal of the NBO in Montreal.

First Canadian woman in the semi since Bianca Andreescu won in 2019, and shades of Denis Shapovalov's 2017 run.
