Burlington’s Victoria Mboko’s childhood coach on her tennis career, dream run at National Bank Open

Burlington’s Victoria Mboko has kept her dream run alive, as she advanced to the National Bank Open semi-finals after a straight sets win last night in Montreal.

It’s been a breakthrough year for the 18-year-old, who’s gone from outside the top 300 to No. 85 in the world rankings. That should climb to at least No.48 after she boosted her record to 25-and-8 against higher-ranked players and 51-and-9 in all competitions.

Rick Zamperin talked to tennis sensation’s Victoria Mboko’s childhood coach at Ace Tennis Academy, Pierre Lamarche, about Mboko’s childhood and career in tennis.
