Victoria Mboko, a rising star in tennis and currently ranked World No. 9, recently discussed her superstitions on the Change Over podcast. She believes these rituals significantly influence her performance. Mboko's first superstition involves drinking electrolytes before water, and she follows a specific sequence if she performs well. Additionally, she has a unique fixation with towel placement, often choosing the side she feels is better, regardless of her coach's preference. Despite her impressive achievements last year, including winning the WTA 1000 title in Montreal against top players like Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff, her 2026 season has been marked by consistency without titles, having reached two finals but lost both. Recently, she withdrew from the Billie Jean King Cup due to dental pain and is expected to start her clay season soon.
