ADELAIDE – Canada’s Victoria Mboko is onto the Adelaide International women’s tennis final.

The 19-year-old from Toronto defeated Australia’s Kimberly Birrell 6-2, 6-1 in the semifinals on Thursday to advance.

Mboko fired eight aces and had three double faults in the tune-up tournament ahead of the Australian Open.

She also broke on five of her seven chances and won 80 per cent of her first-serve points.

Birrell was held without an ace and a break point in the match.

The eighth-seeded Mboko will next face third-seeded Russian Mirra Andreeva on Friday.
