MBOKO coach Natalie Taujiet – a practical and former world number three on the court and the finalist in the Wimbledon Finalist in the 90s – has already supervised the remarkable form of Mboko after guiding in junior ranks already.
“I think what is important for him is that when something happens, we do not get nervous. I remember at the beginning of the year, he always said to me: ‘Oh, you are very calm during the match.”
“The US Open Objective – Who knows, maybe he can do something good? Here, we are going to match the match, and hoping someone injury.”
MBoko hurts her hand in Ardh against Rybakina in Montreal’s huge decline, but says she does not feel it before the final.
Another advantage of being young seems to be the ability to bounce a hard court, with anxious world-view teen sports stars as well as often benefits.
As former young Canadian star and another Wimbledon finalist Yujney Buchord said on Canadian TV after Maboko’s victory over Coco Goff: “She was fearless, and she did not allow the moment to impress her.
“His power and shotmaking were very good. He did not let Coco do too much, or allowed him at any time. To take him with his service, (MBCO) handled this moment in such a mature way.”
MBoko will need a maturity that will never move ahead of the quarters in Canada before the final against an experienced player: “It’s crazy how life works, it is such a good feeling.”
“But I hadn’t thought about lifting the trophy till now. I always try to focus on the present moment – but this is clearly a vision I would like to see. And that’s what I am playing.”
