Mboko reaches Miami quarters, earns Roddick's Grand Slam backing

Victoria Mboko's rapid rise has the Canadian teenager poised for Grand Slam success, former U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick said after she beat fellow teenager Mirra Andreeva 7-6(4) 4-6 6-0 on Monday to reach the Miami Open quarter-finals, Reuters reported.  Mboko picked up her first WTA Tour-level win in Miami last year and has enjoyed a string of deep runs at tournaments in 2026 highlighted by a fourth-round appearance at the Australian Open in January. "Mboko is going to win a slam in the next two years," Roddick said on his Served with Andy Roddick podcast, according to Reuters.
