Holding a 2-0 record in their head-to-head series, Victoria Mboko guns for another lopsided win over Kimberly Birrell in the second round of the 2026 Indian Wells Open on Friday.
Current Form:
Victoria Mboko will try to achieve a fitting follow-up to her runner-up finish at the Qatar Open by making another deep run at Indian Wells. Mboko defeated several heavyweights in her Doha run, taking down a couple of top-10 players in Elena Rybakina and Mirra Andreeva before dismantling former French Open winner Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 6-2. Mboko bowed to an in-form Karolina Muchova 4-6, 5-7.
Kimberly Birrell punched her ticket to the second round with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Oksana Selekhmeteva. Before this win, Birrell reached the semifinals of the ATX Open after posting wins over Petra Marcinko, Caroline Dolehid and Ajla Tomljanovic. Birrell ran out of steam against eventual champion Peyton Stearns 3-6, 6-3, 2-6.
