Canada’s Fernandez, Mboko Meet in Hong Kong Tennis Open Semi, Joint Faces Bucsa
Victoria Mboko won her semifinal in three sets against Leylah Fernandez to reach the Hong Kong Open final, improving after a recent slump and wrist injury.
- In the Hong Kong semifinal on Saturday, Victoria Mboko defeated Leylah Fernandez 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 to reach the final, where she will face Cristina Bucsa of Spain on Sunday.
- With Kalinskaya withdrawing sick while trailing, Victoria Mboko advanced to the Hong Kong final after a withdrawal reshaped the draw, as Bencic and Bucsa were not involved.
- After Kalinskaya withdrew due to illness shortly before calling off the match, Mboko raised her level and hit 34 of 40 first serves, not conceding serve again.
- The win positions Mboko to reach her second WTA final this season as the third seed, completing the match in one hour 44 minutes and is expected to debut in the world's top 10 next week.
- After a midseason slump, Mboko said, `I didn't really have the best start` as she rebounded from a wrist injury sustained in Montreal and ended her losing streak by beating Bianca Andreescu, Mississauga, Ont.
