Mboko had to come through qualifying to make her Grand Slam main draw debut, but now she finds herself in the third round of the French Open.

The 18-year-old Canadian claimed three straight-set wins in qualifying to book her appearance in the clay-court tournament and she has followed it up with two more two-set wins First, she secured a 6-1, 7-6 (7-4) victory over Lulu Sun - who is at No. 45 in the WTA Rankings - and then beat world No. 59 Eva Lys in the second round.

Up next is eighth seed Zheng Qinwen, who also required only two sets to defeat Emiliana Arango, and another upset win could see her jump a few more places in the rankings.
