Her opponent will be Spain\u2019s <strong>J\u00e9ssica Bouzas Maneiro<\/strong>, a player currently ranked No. 51 in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tennis Canada\u2019s VP of high performance, <strong>Guillaume Marx<\/strong>, took the opportunity to comment on Mboko\u2019s electric performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Obviously, she\u2019s doing great.

However, a turning point came late last year when she reached out to Tennis Canada about training full-time back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I think when you take big decisions in life, it\u2019s powerful. We built a team around her so that it would work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision has so far paid off nicely for the tennis player. After kicking off 2024 outside the top 300, Mboko <strong>climbed to No. 85 in the world and posted a 50-9 record this season<\/strong>, including a <strong>22-match win streak on the ITF Challenger circuit<\/strong>.
