Victoria Mboko sits down with the press on Media Day at the HSBC
Championships, Queen's Club 2026 — opening up on two of the biggest
relationships in her young career: her close friendship with fellow
rising star Alexandra Eala, and what it's been like practising and
teaming up with her childhood idol, Serena Williams.
The 19-year-old Canadian, World No. 9, talks bubble tea catch-ups
with Eala, the "wholesome" side of life on tour between two of the
sport's brightest young talents, and the surreal experience of
sharing a practice court — and now a doubles draw — with a
23-time Grand Slam champion.
In this interview, Victoria covers:
— Her friendship with Alex Eala on and off the court
— What it's actually like practising alongside Serena Williams
— Teaming up with Serena for doubles at Queen's Club
— Balancing friendships with the competitiveness of the tour
