Canadian sensation Victoria Mboko has made headlines in 2025. The teenager started the year with five ITF-level championships, and followed it up with a terrific run from qualifying to the French Open Round of 32. Currently the No. 1 ranked player from her country, the World No. 24 defeated the likes of Sofia Kenin, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina and Naomi Osaka to lift her maiden WTA-1000 trophy in Montreal.

Victoria Mboko vs Dayana Yastremska WTA Ningbo Open 2025 Prediction
Yastremska’s experience on the professional tour certainly outweighs that of Mboko. Although the 25-year-old has faced ups and downs with regards to her own form, her Canadian counterpart is yet to win a match since the Montreal miracle. One can expect a barrage of flat groundstrokes on the hard courts of Ningbo in this Round of 32 battle. It is more likely that Yastremska profits from her resilient mentality and supreme court coverage.
Prediction: Dayana Yastremska in straight sets.
