Barbora Krejcikova vs. Victoria Mboko Head-to-Head Record

Match Preview

It has already been a summer to remember for Canadian star Victoria Mboko. She upset the odds at the recent National Bank Open to win on the WTA Tour for the first time, upsetting top-ranked players such as Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff on her way to success.

The 18-year-old hasn’t been on court since winning in Canada, as she pulled out of the recent Cincinnati Open in preparation for the US Open. Her inexperience could be a factor this week, as she will be playing at Flushing Meadows for the first time. However, she has already achieved career-best performances at the French Open and Wimbledon in 2025.

Barbora Krejcikova has endured a frustrating return to the hard surface, having failed to make much of an impression at either the National Bank Open or Cincinnati Masters. However, the experienced Czech star is expected to peak at Flushing Meadows.

The 29-year-old reached the quarterfinals at the US Open in 2021, and she is a two-time Grand Slam winner. Her record at the highest level should also be respected, as she has reached at least the last the third round in nine of her last 17 Grand Slam appearances.
