Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize one of Canada's brightest young athletes, Victoria Mboko. At just 19 years old, she has won major tennis tournaments, winning two WTA singles titles, including the Canadian Open. She achieved a singles ranking of number 18 in the world on November 3. Earlier, she posted a stretch of 22 straight match wins without dropping a set on the ITF circuit, and she represented Canada in the Billie Jean King Cup.
This is all with the support of Tennis Canada's elite training program. As a former professional tennis player and coach, I know that these wins have come at a tremendous amount of sacrifice, grit and determination.
Let us celebrate Vicky Mboko for all that she has achieved. She is a shining example and a hero to a generation of young Canadians. We are so proud of Vicky.
