🎾 Fritz doma a un fiero Rublev para avanzar a semifinales de Toronto ✍ @Canyameridis71 https://t.co/VXqhlFvHsV
Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka advanced to the Canadian Open semi-finals in Montreal with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over No. 10 seed Elina Svitolina. The 26-year-old Japanese star, chasing her first tour-level title since the 2021 Australian Open and her first as a mother, needed just 68 minutes to set up a meeting with Denmark’s Clara Tauson, who earlier upset reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys. Osaka said the run should be enough to secure a seeding at the forthcoming US Open. South of the provincial border, world No. 4 Taylor Fritz overpowered Russia’s Andrey Rublev 6-3, 7-6 (4) in Toronto to reach the National Bank Open semi-finals. The 27-year-old American hammered 20 aces and improved his head-to-head record against Rublev to 6-4. Fritz, seeking his second Masters 1000 trophy and 11th ATP title overall, will face the winner of the quarter-final between Ben Shelton and Alex de Minaur.
