Miles DavidHOST
We literally have just mentioned how many Black girls are in the juniors program and have made their way to the tour.
Miles DavidHOST
Coco Gauff, Sloane Stephens, Maddie Keys, Victoria Mboko, Naomi Osaka, like, I struggle to believe that all of those names would be where they are if Venus and Serena had not done what they did.
Miles DavidHOST
I would love to be a part of the wave and see the wave in real time of black boys having the option and knowing that there's an option out there to play tennis and not go a route.
Miles DavidHOST
And nothing's wrong with the route of doing football, basketball, track and field or baseball.
Megyn KellyHOST
Okay, but let's flash for- flash-forward to last August of 2025, where she was at the National Bank Open in Montreal.
Megyn KellyHOST
She was fighting against a gal from Canada, uh, Victoria Mboko, and Victoria beat her.
Megyn KellyHOST
It was an upset, and it was surprising.
Megyn KellyHOST
And this gal looked up to Naomi, and Naomi didn't congratulate her after the losing match.

Alex GruskinHOST
Then she loses in straights to Noskova.
Alex GruskinHOST
Roland Garros, of course, beats Victoria Mboko in round three.
Alex GruskinHOST
You think to yourself, "Okay, she's a real contender." Knocked out in three sets by Diana Schneider.
Alex GruskinHOST
Of course, Australian Open this year.
Russell DaviesHOST
Was the one, yes.
Russell DaviesHOST
In 2026, Serena Williams returned to competitive tennis after a four-year hiatus, playing doubles alongside Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko at which venue? At Wimbledon.
Russell DaviesHOST
It wasn't, I fear.
Russell DaviesHOST
Any guesses? Thomas Rees.
AaronHOST
Even 2024 was loaded.
AaronHOST
We know that with Mira and Mboko and Tien and Shelton and Ayala and more.
AaronHOST
So it's a little different, but there still is enough value there in those players and some good chases for sure to highlight, obviously, the rookies in this set.
AaronHOST
And now let's jump into the next topic, which is the non-auto parallel counts, which matter a lot to everyone watching this.
20 MINS LATER
AaronHOST
I can only imagine the type of cool stretch backhands, diving forehands, volleys, stuff like that you can feature on these cards as they're a horizontal card with a lot of Sapphire behind them.
AaronHOST
It's a really good checklist too.
AaronHOST
Zverev, Asimova, Alkros, Koko, Rabakina, Raducanu, Svantec, Fonseca, Tien, Andreeva, Osaka, Djokovic, Jang, Fritz, and Mboko.
AaronHOST
Small carat of information is not pertinent to the 930 Chrome release, but you should know for whenever Sapphire comes out down the line.
Valerie CamilloGUEST
I don't think that's a common terminology in tennis, but that's how I think about our new members.
Valerie CamilloGUEST
And in our new membership, we have Vicky Mboko.
Valerie CamilloGUEST
We have Ava Jovic, who's an American, who's an incredible up-and-coming talent.
Valerie CamilloGUEST
And then, of course, Alex Ziala, which is... you know, an athlete that is really breaking through, not just in the United States, but globally in a profound and unique way, and bringing in new fans to the sport, which is, I think, what you look for in future superstars.
John HornGUEST
But, you know, that's, you know, it's funny on the women's side because we were so used to having Andreescu going for a while and Fernandez.
John HornGUEST
And then, of course, we had Victoria Mboko, but she's hurt.
John HornGUEST
I had a whole bunch of women in the qualifying.
John HornGUEST
None of them were able to get through.
Reid RohlingGUEST
Yeah.
Paul MunkholmHOST
She played when she was playing with Mboko in the grass tournament.
Reid RohlingGUEST
Yeah.
Paul MunkholmHOST
Now she played here.
Gill AlexanderHOST
The other two big names, Fonseca and Draper.
Gill AlexanderHOST
On the ladies' side, not as dramatic, but no Victoria Mboko, who tore her ligaments in her left knee during a fall at the Queens Club in June.
Gill AlexanderHOST
Why do I not remember that happening at all? Was that on vacation or something? Haley Baptiste, we do remember, tore her ACL meniscus.
Gill AlexanderHOST
During the second round of the French Open, she won't be here.
Ken DrostNARRATOR
She soon announced that she was evolving away from tennis after the tournament.
Ken DrostNARRATOR
Williams, a six-time U.S. Open and 23 Grand Slam champion, started her comeback at the Queens Club in June in doubles competition with Vitoria but had to withdraw after Mboko was injured in a singles match.
