Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the player who wins the Women's Singles title at the 2025 WTA Montreal tournament, officially known as the National Bank Open. The final match is scheduled for Thursday, August 7, 2025, at 6 p.m. ET at the IGA Stadium in Montreal. The winner will be determined based on the official match result as reported by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) on their website: WTA Official Website.

Background

The 2025 WTA Montreal final features 18-year-old Canadian wildcard Victoria Mboko and former World No. 1 Naomi Osaka. This is the first meeting between the two players.

Victoria Mboko has had a breakout year, starting 2025 ranked outside the top 300 and climbing to No. 85 by late July. She achieved this through a series of ITF titles and notable performances in WTA events. In Montreal, Mboko defeated top-seeded Coco Gauff in the fourth round and saved a match point to overcome ninth seed Elena Rybakina in the semifinals, marking her first WTA 1000 final appearance.

Naomi Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, is making her first WTA 1000 final appearance since Miami 2022. After stepping away from the sport for personal reasons, including maternity leave, Osaka has been on a comeback trail. In Montreal, she secured victories over Elina Svitolina and Clara Tauson to reach the final. Source

Considerations

• Home Advantage: Mboko will have the support of the home crowd, which could influence her performance.

• Experience vs. Youth: Osaka brings significant experience and a history of success at high-level tournaments, while Mboko is a rising star with momentum but less experience in finals.

• Physical Condition: Mboko sustained a wrist injury during her semifinal match but continued to play and win. Her physical condition could be a factor in the final. Source
