Naomi Osaka faced backlash after forgetting to congratulate 18-year-old Vicky Mboko during the Canadian Open trophy ceremony

Canadian tennis sensation Victoria Mboko defied the odds and won her first Women’s Tennis Association title in the Canadian Open final, defeating seven-time WTA title winner Naomi Osaka.

Osaka has made progress since returning in last year's Australian Open. She won two matches in both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, has earned $725,727 in prize money and reached the No. 49 spot in the WTA rankings, with a higher ranking likely on the way by making the final.
