Canadian Open 2026: Elena Rybakina Avoids Upset; Coco Gauff And Naomi Osaka Enter Quarters · news18.com

Tennis is a sport where two players hit a ball back and forth over a net.

In Toronto, Canada, some of the best women tennis players in the world are playing in a big tournament called the Canadian Open.

One of the best players, Elena Rybakina, was very close to losing her match.

She was behind 0-3 in the last set, which meant she was in big trouble.

But she did not give up and came back to win, so she gets to keep playing.

Naomi Osaka, who has won four of the biggest tennis championships ever, also won her match.

Coco Gauff, a young American star, won her match very easily and has not lost any set in the whole tournament.

Now, Rybakina will play Osaka, and Gauff will play Belinda Bencic.

The winners of those matches will be one step closer to winning the Canadian Open trophy.

Quotes

Belinda Bencic

Swiss tennis player, fourth-ranked

“It was all pretty good for me. She has a great attitude. She’s consistent and she will fight. She’s kind of like a bulldog. I was catching my service toss a couple times. Hopefully in the next match I don’t do that as often. I need to be confident in myself, execute what I can and at the end of the day just try my best and whatever happens, happens.”

“My main focus today was let me try and close it out, probably not the way I should be thinking but it worked today. I’m proud of how the last three matches have gone and just knowing if I have to go the distance I’m ready, but obviously would prefer to cut it short if I can.”
