Victoria Mboko made a strong start to the new year with two wins against China. Canada now takes on Belgium and Mboko faces Elise Mertens. Read our match prediction below.
Canada won their match against China 3-0 and are in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages. Mboko’s United Cup campaign began with a three set win over Zhu Lin. The first set was lost but the teenager only lost two games in the rest of the match.
Mboko then teamed up with Felix Auger-Alliassime to win their mixed doubles match in straight sets. The 19-year-old won seven titles last year, two on the ATP Tour and will aim to continue her good form in 2026.
Elise Mertens is the world number 20, just two places below her opponent. The Belgian has also had a win over Zhu Lin in this tournament, only losing four games. It was her first match since a second round loss in Osaka in mid-October.
The win took her outdoor hard court United Cup singles record to two wins in three matches.
Last year saw the Belgian win two tournaments, one on an indoor hard court, the other on grass.
We tip over 19.5 games to be played in this match.
