Can Naomi Osaka Still Be Seeded at US Open Despite Canadian Open Loss? All You Need to About 4-Time Grand Slam Champ's Current Situation

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, AUG 8 – Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko converted eight of nine break points to claim her first WTA title by defeating four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka, whose brief speech omitted any congratulation.

  • On August 7, 2025, at Montreal’s IGA Stadium, Victoria Mboko won her first WTA title, and Naomi Osaka’s brief speech made no mention of her opponent.
  • Despite an early set loss, Mboko mounted a comeback by converting eight of nine break points and winning the next two sets 6-4, 6-1, while Osaka focused on her disappointment.
  • Amid visible frustration, Osaka skipped her post-match press conference and received a code violation for hitting a ball into the stands.
  • Online, Rennae Stubbs called Osaka’s omission ‘sad’ and noted some users labeled her a 'poor loser' on X.
  • As the US Open approaches, Mboko will enter at a career-high top-30 ranking, and Osaka aims to continue her good form at the Cincinnati Open and US Open.
