Naomi Osaka struggled to build upon an early edge in her matchup with Victoria Mboko in the 2025 Montreal Open Final.

Naomi Osaka defended herself from the post-Montreal final controversy, insisting that she "completely forgot" to congratulate Victoria Mboko.

Osaka has made progress since returning in last year's Australian Open. She won two matches in both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, has earned $725,727 in prize money and reached the No. 49 spot in the WTA rankings, with a higher ranking likely on the way by making the final.
