The comeback queen. 👑🎾
Naomi Osaka reaches her first WTA 1000 final since 2022, defeating Denmark's Clara Tauson 6-2, 7-6(7) in the Canadian Open semifinals. Let's go! 🔥
The four-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t won a tournament since the 2021 Australian Open. This marks her first WTA 1000 final appearance since 2022, when she lost to Iga Świątek in Miami. 💪
Osaka will now face 18-year-old Canadian tennis sensation Victoria Mboko. Against all odds, Mboko came back from a set down to deliver a dramatic upset over world No. 9 Elena Rybakina and book her ticket to the final. 👏
This match is shaping up to be quite the showdown—Osaka, the seasoned vet on a mission to climb back up the tennis ranks, versus Mboko, the rising star making her first tour-level final appearance and ready to stake her claim. 👀
The match will take place today at 6:00 p.m. ET, GISTers, who's taking this crown? 👑
