Trending
The Canadian star has been on the rise this year. She went on a tear on the ITF circuit, winning five titles. She came quite close to winning a Challenger title in Parma, but came up short in the final. She has been making waves on the main tour as well.
Mboko recorded her first win on the WTA Tour at the Miami Open. She beat Camila Osorio in the first round to make a winning debut. She gave World No. 11 Paula Badosa a tough fight in the second round but lost the match in three tough sets.
The Canadian teenager also led World No. 3 Coco Gauff by a set at the Italian Open, though she couldn't pull off the upset. She came through the qualifying rounds of the French Open without losing a set, thus making her Grand Slam debut. She made quite an impact, beating Lulu Sun and Eva Lys before losing to Zheng Qinwen in the third round.
Second-round appearances at the ASB Classic in Auckland and the French Open count as Hibino's best results this year. While she qualified for the Australian Open, she was shown the door by Marta Kostyuk in the first round. Her results at the ITF level were quite disappointing, failing to win consecutive matches across the four tournaments she competed.

Victoria Mboko vs Nao Hibino prediction
This will be the first match for both players since their respective runs at the French Open. Hibino knocked out Mboko's compatriot Bianca Andreescu in the qualifying rounds in Paris despite being the underdog.
Mboko will be eager to repeat what she accomplished at the clay court Major. However, she had some prior experience on clay, this will be the first match of her career on grass.
Hibino has a 1-5 record at Wimbledon, with her only main draw win coming in 2021. She has a 2-4 record at the WTA level this year, which has been easily surpassed by Mboko, who has a 6-3 record on the main tour this year.
Mboko is an unknown entity on grass, so it's tough to predict how she's going to perform here. She didn't even partake in any warm-up tournaments prior to Wimbledon. Despite her lack of experience on the surface, she will still be the slight favorite to beat Hibino based on how they've performed this year.
Pick: Victoria Mboko to win in straight sets.
