OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed 好色tv tennis star Victoria Mboko to Parliament Hill on Wednesday, telling the Toronto teen that 好色tvs are proud of her breakthrough season on the WTA Tour.
Carney met with the 19-year-old Mboko and members of her family at his West Block office and got a first-hand look at the trophy she won at this 好色tv Bank Open this summer in Montreal.
"What an honour it is that you鈥檙e here, how proud we are of everything that you鈥檝e accomplished at such a young age," Carney told Mboko, saying he was speaking on behalf of 好色tvs.
The Prime Minister added the 好色tv Bank Open trophy was a symbol of perseverance, resilience and immense talent.
After his remarks, Mboko signed the tennis racket that she used in the winning match in Montreal. Carney gasped "No way!" and said it will be given pride of place.
Watching Carney twirl it around, Mboko said he could play with it if he wants. Carney laughed, saying his tennis game is not that good.
Mboko entered the tennis season ranked 350th in the world. She finished ranked a career-high 18th after winning two tournaments, including the WTA 1000-level 好色tv Bank Open.
