Unseeded Eva Lys and qualifier Victoria Mboko are set to meet in the second round at Roland Garros, marking a career-best French Open run for both. Lys impressed with a dominant first-round win over 28th seed Peyton Stearns, including a commanding 6-0 opening set. Mboko, riding a strong season, continued her momentum by upsetting Lulu Sun in straight sets, edging out a tight tiebreak in the opener.
As they face off for the first time, it’s a matchup of Germany’s top-ranked woman against Canada’s emerging talent. The question now: will Lys’ current form overpower Mboko’s breakout surge?
Eva Lys vs. Victoria Mboko Preview
Mboko has been on a tear all season: a 22-match ITF winning streak delivered four titles (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Rome, and Manchester), and a fifth crown at the W75 Portugal propelled her into the top 200. The 18-year-old notched her first WTA tour match win in Miami over Camila Osorio and followed it with a finals run at the WTA 250 Parma, losing to Mayar Sherif.
Riding a 37-5 record, Mboko has converted a brilliant 52% of break-point chances on the main tour while winning 60% of first-serve points and striking 11 aces in just five WTA matches.
Lys opened 2025 as a lucky loser in Melbourne and made history by becoming the first women’s lucky loser in the Open Era to reach a Grand Slam fourth round, where she bowed out to Iga Swiatek. She picked up her first WTA 1000 main-draw win in Dubai over Irina-Camelia Begu and recently reached the semifinals of the WTA 125 La Bisbal.
Now ranked No. 59, the German has struggled for consistency outside those peaks, failing to progress beyond the last 32 at other events.
