TORONTO – Tennis star Victoria Mboko has withdrawn from Canada’s upcoming Billie Jean King Cup tie in Kazakhstan due to scheduled dental surgery.
The world No. 9 from Burlington, Ont., said in a statement Saturday that she is getting four wisdom teeth removed after experiencing recurring dental pain.
Marina Stakusic of Mississauga, Ont., is also withdrawing from the tie, citing back pain.
Tennis Canada says Ariana Arseneault of Richmond Hill, Ont., has been added to the roster and will join Mississauga’s Bianca Andreescu, Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Kayla Cross of London, Ont.
The best-of-five tie will be played April 10-11 on an indoor clay court at the Beeline Arena in Astana.
The winner will advance to the 2026 finals in September, while the other team will compete in the November playoffs.
