Victoria Mboko discusses advice from Serena Williams on recovering from injury

Professional tennis player Victoria Mboko is managing a left knee injury that forced her and partner Serena Williams to withdraw from the Queen’s Club Championships in June. While sidelined, the 20-year-old athlete shared that Williams provided guidance on using recovery periods as a time for self-assessment and improvement. Mboko previously achieved a career milestone by winning the 2025 National Bank Open in Montreal, where she defeated four Grand Slam champions. Currently, the Canadian player is partnering with Dove to promote the Body Confident Sport program, which aims to help young female athletes build confidence. Mboko reports she is eager to return to the court and has established new goals for her professional play. Her recent team-up with Williams marked the first professional appearance for the 23-time Grand Slam winner since the 2022 US Open.
