Osaka Storms Into Canadian Open Semis With Dominant Svitolina Victory
Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka advanced to the semi-finals of the WTA Canadian Open in Montreal after a dominant victory over 10th seed Elina Svitolina. Osaka, seeking her first title since the 2021 Australian Open following maternity leave, displayed commanding form throughout the 68-minute match.
Breaking early in the first set, Osaka maintained control to secure the win against Svitolina. She will now face Danish 16th seed Clara Tauson in the last four, who stunned reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys.
Tauson dedicated her victory to her late grandfather, who passed away recently. Osaka expressed satisfaction with her performance and looks forward to facing Tauson.
The Canadian Open has seen several upsets, with seven of the top ten seeds eliminated. Tauson's victory marks the first time she has defeated two opponents in a single event, setting up an exciting semi-final clash.
