Victoria Mboko and Bianca Andreescu are two of the greatest Canadian tennis players of all time.

Andreescu became the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam title when she won the US Open in 2019.

Then, in 2025, Mboko became the first Canadian to win the tournament in Montreal, defeating Naomi Osaka in the final.

Andreescu and Mboko teamed together at the 2025 Japan Open, where they reached the quarterfinals.

Ahead of Indian Wells, Andreescu has shared her thoughts on Mboko and predicted what she may achieve in the future.

Bianca Andreescu backs Victoria Mboko to dominate for many years

During the latest episode of ‘The Big T Podcast‘, Andreescu gave her verdict on the 19-year-old Canadian.

“She is great,” said Andreescu.

“Obviously, she is an incredible tennis player, and she has achieved so much already, but she is just such a great person.

“She is very warm and welcoming.

“She says hi to everybody, and I played doubles with her in Tokyo.

“It was great.

“Her serve is amazing!

“I was able to easily punch my volleys.”

Andreescu went on to predict what Mboko may achieve in the future.

“She is great and has that fearless mentality,” she said.

“She has a great serve and is a hard hitter. She takes the ball super early.

“She can dominate for many, many years.”

Andreescu believes Mboko has the potential to ‘dominate’ women’s tennis, but where is she currently ranked?

Victoria Mboko is playing at a top-five level

The 19-year-old is currently occupying the final top-10 spot.

Mboko is ranked 10th in the world, but trails number-nine Elina Svitolina by over 600 points.

However, although the gap is significant, Mboko is certainly trending in the right direction.

In the Live WTA Race, Mboko sits fifth, having only accumulated fewer points than Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, Svitolina, and Aryna Sabalenka this year.

If the season were to end today, Mboko would make her WTA Finals debut.

Mboko won’t want to book her flights to Riyadh just yet, although if she keeps this up, she’ll become a regular at the year-end finals.

She’s already played two finals this year, and despite coming up short on both occasions, Mboko proved just how dangerous she can be.

Looking to win her first title of the year, Mboko could be one to look out for at Indian Wells…

Who will Victoria Mboko play at Indian Wells?

As a seeded player, Mboko receives a BYE into round two.

There, she will play either Kimberly Birrell or Oksana Selekhmeteva.

Expected to win that match, she could then meet Russia’s Anna Kalinskaya in the third round, and Emma Raducanu or Amanda Anisimova in the last 16.

If she were to reach the quarterfinals, she may face world number one Sabalenka.

Sabalenka finished as runner-up at Indian Wells a year ago and will be determined to lift the trophy this time around.

The Belarusian and Canadian have met once before.

On that occasion, Sabalenka defeated Mboko in straight sets.

Only time will tell if Mboko will have an opportunity to get revenge in California.

First, Mboko will prepare to play either Birrell or Selekhemteva in the second round.
