I&#8217;m super happy that I won this match.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Japan&#8217;s Osaka broke Rybakina in the opening game on the way to claiming the first set in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The second set appeared to be going Osaka&#8217;s way as, despite having one break retrieved, she broke again to go 4-2 up against the the 2022 Wimbledon and 2026 Australian Open champion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">However, Rybakina took three straight games and won the tie-break to level the match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Osaka had four break points when she led 3-2 in the decider but failed to take them as Rybakina held and then broke her opponent in the next game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Rybakina went on to emphatically serve out for the match, sealing victory with a 15th ace and she will play Coco Gauff in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Meanwhile, Osaka said she was withdrawing from the Cincinnati Open, the last tournament before the US Open, because of &#8220;fatigue&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Gauff progressed after Belinda Bencic withdrew from their match with a hip injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The other semi-final will be between Iga Swiatek, a 6-2 6-1 winner against Diana Shnaider, and Elina Svitolina, who beat Ekaterina Alexandrova 3-6 6-0 6-3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elena Rybakina came back from a set and a break down to beat Naomi Osaka in three sets in their Canadian Open quarter-final.
