The hugely in-form and continually improving Victoria Mboko will be action again on Thursday, continuing her march towards the semi-finals of a huge event. The Canadian teenager, who is rapidly becoming a top player, has once again looked in great shape, so much so that it's now clear to see that she's on her way to the top of the game. However, her ascent may have to wait a little longer. She's now up against the imperious Aryna Sabalenka. Even for her, winning this match may be a step too far.
The world number one has also looked in hot form during the early rounds in Indian Wells, beating each of her three opponents without dropping a set. In truth, she hasn't really got out of second gear, while let's be honest, her 2026 form in general is nearly perfect, with the multiple Grand Slam winner winning 14 out of 15 matches in straight sets.

Our Aryna Sabalenka vs Victoria Mboko Prediction
Victoria Mboko is playing some fine tennis right now, and she's very much a future star and a worthy top-10 player at present. However, facing Sabalenka is just too tricky right now. The Belarusian looks to be playing somewhere near her best, so much so that I am a little surprised to see the straight-set win priced at -167. For my money, it should be closer to -225.
After all, when the pair met in Melbourne two months ago, Sabalenka got the job done in straight sets. Sure, Mboko has stepped on the gas a little since then, but so has Sabalenka, so don't be expecting the youngster to cause an upset here.
