National Bank Open: Rybakina and Gauff advance to semifinals

The National Bank Open in Toronto has seen significant shifts in the women's singles draw. World number one Aryna Sabalenka suffered a major upset in the fourth round, losing 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 to Ekaterina Alexandrova. This loss places pressure on Sabalenka's ranking, as Elena Rybakina remains close in points.

Elena Rybakina secured her place in the semifinals after a comeback victory against Naomi Osaka, winning 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4. Rybakina will face Coco Gauff in the semifinals, following Belinda Bencic's withdrawal from the quarterfinals due to a hip injury. Gauff advanced via walkover.

In other notable results, Iga Swiatek reached the semifinals with a dominant 6-2, 6-1 win over Diana Shnaider. In doubles, the top-seeded pair of Katerina Siniakova and Zhang Shuai advanced to the semifinals after defeating Storm Hunter and Desirae Krawczyk.
