Victoria Mboko was Serena Williams’ partner in the Queen’s Club Championship, the duo played and won their opening match on Tuesday, which was Williams’ first match since retiring in 2022.
She pulled out of the HSBC Championship, when she fell and hurt her knee during her singles match against Karolina Pliskova. She slipped behind the baseline and appeared to hurt her left knee. Mboko unfortunately had to retire from the match. She told a physiotherapist that there was “no stability” in it.
On Instagram, she wrote, “Unfortunately, my fall on Wednesday caused an injury to the MCL on my left knee, which sadly means I will miss the remainder of the grass season. This unfortunately means Wimbledon too, a tournament I had been so looking forward to playing this year.”
Victoria currently has a career-high ranking of No. 9 in singles and a best doubles ranking of No. 132. She has won two WTA Tour singles titles, including a WTA 1000 event at the 2025 Canadian Open. The 19-year-old also happens to be only the fourth Canadian woman in WTA history to reach the top 10.
