That is definitely not the case with Thursday’s Montreal final between Osaka and Mboko. They’re both unseeded, but at this point that’s a technicality. Everyone has heard of Osaka, and the fans up north care a lot about their countrywoman Mboko—even if few of them knew who the suburban-Toronto teenager was before last week.

She took down world No. 19 Clara Tauson in straight sets (6-2, 7-6) in her semifinal match Wednesday night, setting up a highly anticipated final with 18-year-old Canadian sensation Victoria Mboko Thursday evening. Osaka ousted Tauson in a second-set tiebreak after she trailed 3-0 to officially announce her triumphant return.
