In the 2025 Canadian Open women’s final, two unseeded players will face off for that WTA 1000 title: 18-year-old rising tennis star Victoria Mboko, and four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. Mboko has had an unprecedented run at the Canadian Open, defeating three Grand Slam champions so far — World No. 2 Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina and Sofia Kenin. Mboko is the youngest Canadian woman to ever make the final in her home country’s tournament, and when she entered as a wild card, she didn’t even have a photo on the WTA’s website. Now, she'll face one of her idols in her very first WTA 1000-level final. Meanwhile, Osaka heads into their Montreal match with a 2-2 record for WTA 1000 finals on hard court.
The 2025 Canadian Open women's final will air on the Tennis Channel at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. Here's how to tune in without cable.
