Iga Świątek faces tough draw at Toronto Canadian Open

Polish world No. 8 Iga Świątek opens the WTA 1000 Canadian Open in Toronto with a challenging first‑round opponent, Wang Xinyu, and a possible clash with Donna Vekić in the third round. Analysts warn that later she could meet former Wimbledon finalist Jessica Pegula or French Open finalist Marta Kostyuk, both described as players “who know how to hurt a Pole.”

The tournament also features other Polish players: Magdalena Fręch, Magda Linette, and men’s star Hubert Hurkacz, each with their own first‑round matches. A pre‑event ranking review notes that Świątek and several top stars will lose points after the event, with Świątek set to drop 120 points, while Aryna Sabalenka stands to gain.

These match‑ups and ranking implications shape the expectations for Polish tennis fans in Toronto.
