Fresh off a quarterfinal appearance in her last event, Canadian rising star Victoria Mboko will tussle with Talia Gibson of Australia in the first round of the 2025 Hong Kong Open.
Current Form;
Ranked No.21 in the world, Mboko looks to stage another deep run in Hong Kong, a WTA 250 event. Mboko is 21-7 on the hard court this year, breaking career milestones following her unforgettable title run at the 2025 Canadian Open. After suffering four consecutive opening matches, Mboko has regained her confidence after picking up two wins in Tokyo and reaching another quarterfinals.
Gibson is 1-4 in her last five matches. She has recently lost to Alina Korneeva of Russia in the first round of the qualification stages for the main draw of the 2025 Guangzhou Open. The 134th-ranked Gibson is 20-15 on the hard court and 37-26 overall in 2025.

Our Talia Gibson vs Victoria Mboko Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Barring a miracle, Victoria Mboko should breeze through to a resounding win over Talia Gibson, who is 0-5 against the WTA top-50 players in her career. Gibson is 13-8 in first-round matches, but she’s only 20-15 on the hard court in 2025. Mboko has only four losses against players outside the WTA top-100 this season. I expect her to outmatch and outplay Gibson, who is clearly not on her level.
Our betting prediction for Talia Gibson vs. Victoria Mboko: Victoria Mboko will cover -4.5 Games
