Victoria Mboko vs Kamilla Rakhimova preview
One of the final round qualifying fixtures at the 2025 Italian Open will feature Canada's Victora Mboko taking on ninth-seeded qualifier Kamilla Rakhimova. The Miami Open is the only Tour-level event that Mboko has taken part in. She won 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 against Camila Osorio in the first round, but lost 5-7, 6-1, 6-7 (3) in a thrilling showdown against World No. 10 Paula Badosa.

However, Mboko has been in sensational form on the ITF circuit, winning five of the seven events she has played at. She has won titles on the hard courts of Le Lamentin, Bourg, Rome, Manchester, and Porto. The Canadian did have a losing start to the clay season, as she lost against Olivia Gadecki at the ITF event in Saint Malo. In Rome, Mboko began her campaign with a dominant 6-3, 6-2 win over 17th-seeded qualifier Critsina Bucsa in the first round of qualifying.
Kamilla Rakhimova has been in poor form in 2025, not winning any matches on the WTA Tour. Of the ten events she has played in 2025, she has failed to qualify for the main draw on five occasions and has been knocked out of the first round of the main draw of the other five events.
The clay season has brought no change of fortune for Rakhimova as she failed to qualify in Madrid, losing 3-6, 3-6 against Jana Fett in the qualifiers. She has played in a couple of ITF events on clay, but has not been past the second round. In Rome, she started her qualifying campaign with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Leyre Romero Gormaz in the first round.

Victoria Mboko vs Kamilla Rakhimova prediction
Seven of eight ITF titles have come on the hard courts for Victoria Maboko in her career so far. However, she does have a clay court title on the ITF circuit, having won the title in Darmstadt in 2024 with a 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Angela Fita Boluda in the final.
Rakhimova has not singles title to her name, but she does have a clay-court doubles title on the WTA Tour, as she won the 2024 Copa Colsanitas with Cristina Bucsa. Rakhimova has one clay-court final in her career on the ITF Tour, losing 1-6, 3-6 against Anhelina Kalinina at the 2021 Zagreb Ladies Open.
Mboko is the clear favorite for the upcoming match as the Canadian is in superior form compared to her Russian opponent.
Pick- Mboko to win in straight sets.
