Iga Swiatek will face Elena Rybakina in the Canadian Open final after both players battled through three-set semi-finals. The 25-year-old Polish seventh seed defeated Elina Svitolina 6-3 1-6 6-3 to claim her first WTA final of the season, noting 'It hasn't been an easy season, probably the toughest one in my life.' Rybakina, the world number two, overcame Coco Gauff 5-7 6-2 6-2 after coming from behind to defeat Naomi Osaka earlier. The upcoming final marks their 13th professional meeting, with both players holding six wins each.

Rybakina acknowledged the difficulty ahead, citing recovery and energy management. In the men's draw, Ben Shelton will meet Brandon Nakashima in Montreal, where Nakashima seeks his first Masters 1,000 title while Shelton aims for his seventh ATP victory.
