After shocking the world of tennis and frustrated by the Canadian Open champion, Vicky Mboko took some time at her home in Burlington, Ontario, before returning to Montreal, the biggest win of her career, to prepare for the U.S. Open.
As she bypassed Montreal between practice training, strangers often prevented Mboko from signing, photographs and words of congratulations reminded her of the feat she had just achieved there, lifting her path to the world career, reaching the best 24th of her career.Th After winning her first WTA title.
Mboko coach Nathalie Tauziat said: “Of course, after what Canada has done in Canada, her life will change.Th In the world. “Vicky is very friendly and very calm with the people.”
Tauziat’s first quality is certainly good, but it’s the second calming, and the coach believes it plays a big role in helping Mboko do what she did in the National Bank Open proposed by Rogers. Mboko stood out all week as she beat the top seed world No. 2 Coco Gauff and then in the final, former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka.
“I was surprised by the way in the first two rounds – she was really calm,” said Taoziat, noting that there was a feeling of “serene” in all Mboko’s games. With the match, Mboko didn’t even look at the brackets to see who she faced until she won her next outing.
“She really focused on what she had to do in every game, and I think that was the most important thing – I don’t know if she realized what she was doing,” Tauziat said. Of course, until Mboko hung the trophy over her head on the IGA Stadium Center Stadium.
Mboko will rely on the same matching method as the U.S. Open debut. The 22nd seed of the Grand Slam and the highest-ranked Canadian, she faced a tough test in her opening ceremony match against Barbora Krejcikova, who won second place in Wimbledon last year.
Mboko turned 19 on Tuesday and entered the U.S. Open “not 100%” according to Tanuziat.
Mboko made a appearance at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York and will mark her third-largest Grand Slam after playing at the French Open earlier this year, where she entered the third round, and Wimbledon, where she won the opening game. She played back to back, with a few weeks of rest between the two, which is how she has been doing since she started climbing the team this season. “We have to prioritize health first, just to be ready and be the best she can do,” Tauziat said. “We look at the schedule and it’s important for her to play some good games, but I think it’s important for her, she’s still young and she has time to play more or anything else, so we’re trying to give her some time to go home and go home with her family and friends. It helps her enjoy everything in court.”
Mboko has an incredible 53-9 record this season, and as the year progresses, Tauziat said she has seen improvements in Mboko’s stadium sports and is able to win the ball early and play more aggressively. The coach also pointed out that Mboko’s tactical strength against players she had never faced before was a sign of her maturity. However, there is still a lot of work to be done. “I know she won a big game, but to stay in her place, she needs to work hard. [player] Or better. ” Tauziat said.
Tauziat himself is ranked among the top five in the world and knows the most difficult part of staying there is consistent. “When you have the biggest game, be ready to play and fight yourself,” Tauciat added.
The battle was witnessed by sports fans from Mboko, who rushed into the court and won the national open, returning from her three games, including the final against Osaka. For Tauziat, until Mboko led 4-1 in the third set of the finals, she thought Mboko would win everything. The coach said, “Last.”
But for Mboko herself, the belief was there before she got on the court, because that was the attitude she took to every game. “It’s not that something has changed for her, it’s winning on the court,” Tauciat explained. “She’s always giving herself the best, and when it works, it’s good, and if it doesn’t, at least she gives her the best. So, I don’t think it’s a lot of pressure for her. That’s what she looks like.”
It is undoubtedly a good way for a player to enter the United States with his younger shoulders than ever before.
Mboko won the victory in Montreal, Tauziat went to bed around midnight, while Mboko and her family and others on her team are still celebrating the victory.
“You will enjoy everything, everything you deserve,” Tauciat told Mboko. “Then I want to see you ready to open up America.”
