Who won the National Bank Open 2025?
Victoria Mboko claimed the 2025 Omnium Banque Nationale women’s singles title at IGA Stadium in Montreal on August 7, 2025, defeating former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the final. At 18 years old, Mboko became the second-lowest ranked player to win a WTA 1000 event since 1990, entering the tournament at No. 85 in the world rankings as a tournament wildcard.
Victoria Mboko’s championship run
The Ontario teenager’s path to the title read like a who’s-who of women’s tennis. In the second round, Mboko upset 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin 6-2, 6-3. She then defeated world No. 2 Coco Gauff in the fourth round before overcoming Elena Rybakina in a grueling three-set semifinal 1-6, 7-5, 7-6(7-4). The final win over Osaka completed a run that saw Mboko defeat three Grand Slam champions en route to her maiden WTA Tour title.
Mboko is only the third Canadian to win the women’s singles at the National Bank Open since the tournament began, joining Bianca Andreescu (2019) and Faye Urban (1969). She’s also the first Canadian to reach the semifinals at NBO Montreal in the Open Era.
Key matches and results
The match-by-match breakdown below shows Mboko’s progression through the draw.
| Round | Opponent | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Second Round | Sofia Kenin | 6-2, 6-3 |
| Fourth Round | Coco Gauff (World No. 2) | Victory |
| Semifinal | Elena Rybakina | 1-6, 7-5, 7-6(7-4) |
| Final | Naomi Osaka | 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 |
What this means is that Mboko’s title run featured victories over multiple elite players at different stages of the tournament, demonstrating her ability to perform under pressure against varied competition styles.
The tournament marked Mboko’s seventh main draw appearance on the WTA Tour and her first career title. She began 2025 ranked No. 350, winning a 22-match winning streak and five ITF titles before her breakthrough summer.
Where can I watch the National Bank Open 2025?
Canadian viewers watched the 2025 Omnium Banque Nationale through TVA Sports, the official French-language broadcaster for the event. Tennis Canada confirmed that international coverage was available through the WTA’s global streaming platform, with the final between Mboko and Osaka drawing significant national interest following the dramatic three-set comeback.
Live streaming options
The WTA Tour’s official streaming service provides live coverage of all matches from WTA 1000 events, including the Montreal tournament. For North American audiences, TVA Sports held the primary broadcast rights in Quebec, while TSN and Sportsnet carried coverage for English-speaking viewers across Canada.
TV broadcast channels
- TVA Sports — Official French-language broadcaster
- TSN — English-language coverage (selected matches)
- WTA Tour streaming — International live coverage
- TSN.ca and TVA.ca — Online streaming options
Broadcast arrangements for future years typically follow similar patterns, though specific channel assignments may change. Ticket holders receive information about venue access and any premium viewing experiences directly from the tournament.
The implication is that Canadian fans have multiple viewing pathways regardless of language preference, with streaming offering flexibility for international audiences.
How much does the National Bank Open winner earn?
The 2025 Omnium Banque Nationale offered over $5 million USD in total prize money, reflecting the tournament’s WTA 1000 mandatory status in the women’s circuit. The exact championship payout for Mboko’s victory represented a significant portion of this total, though the precise figure for the Montreal champion was not publicly confirmed at the time of this report.
Prize money breakdown
The tiered structure below reflects standard WTA 1000 prize distributions for the tournament.
| Round | Approximate Prize |
|---|---|
| Champion | $1,000,000+ USD |
| Finalist | $500,000+ USD |
| Semifinalist | $250,000+ USD |
| Quarterfinalist | $125,000+ USD |
The pattern here is clear: WTA 1000 champions receive prize payouts that provide immediate financial security while also boosting ranking position for future entry into higher brackets.
For context, Mboko’s 2025 season earnings totaled $1,444,890 according to available records from ESPN, which included her Montreal title plus earlier results. The WTA 1000 mandatory events typically offer the highest non-Grand Slam prize pools on tour.
Victoria Mboko’s earnings
While the exact Montreal champion’s check awaits official confirmation, Mboko’s 2025 season performance reflects her breakthrough year. Her combined singles record of 60 wins against 14 losses produced two titles—including her historic Montreal victory—and cumulative earnings that represent the largest single-season prize total of her young career.
For Canadian tennis players, a WTA 1000 title win provides immediate financial security and significantly improves ranking position, which determines entry into subsequent major events and higher automatic prize brackets.
Who is the best Quebec tennis player?
Félix Auger-Aliassime remains Quebec’s highest-ranked ATP player, currently positioned among the world’s top 20 men. The Montreal native has consistently been the province’s standard-bearer on the men’s tour, though Victoria Mboko’s breakthrough at IGA Stadium in 2025 introduced significant competition for that recognition in Canadian tennis circles.
Félix Auger-Aliassime ranking
Auger-Aliassime has held world rankings inside the top 25 throughout 2024-2025, accumulating ATP Tour finals appearances and titles. His consistent presence on the ATP circuit contrasts with the sporadic nature of previous Quebec male talents, making him the clear provincial leader for men’s tennis.
Top Quebec talents
- Félix Auger-Aliassime — World top 20, ATP singles
- Victoria Mboko — World No. 22 seed post-Montreal (women’s)
- Rebecca Marino — Former top-100 Canadian women’s player
- Gabriela Dabrowski — World-class doubles specialist
Among Canadian players broadly, Mboko’s 2025 victory places her alongside Félix Auger-Aliassime as the country’s most successful current players. Four players currently rank ahead of Auger-Aliassime in Canadian men’s tennis, but he remains the province’s primary representative at the ATP level.
What is the schedule and draw for National Bank Open 2025 Montreal?
The 2025 Omnium Banque Nationale ran from July 26 through August 7 at IGA Stadium in Montreal. Qualifying matches began July 26, with main draw action commencing July 27. The tournament featured its expanded 96-player main draw for the first time, a significant increase from the previous 56-player format.

The catch is that premium seating sold out early for the finals, reflecting strong demand for the championship session.
