Match recap

Iga Swiatek defeated Elina Svitolina 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 in the Semifinal of the Canadian Open 2026.

Twelve breaks of serve across 24 games left the return as the separator, and Swiatek wasted fewer looks: 5 of 13 break points converted to Svitolina's 5 of 19, with the total points splitting 90-89. Down a break in the decider, the No. 7 seed broke back in game 6 for 3-3, then again in game 8 for 5-3. That reverses a matchup the Ukrainian had owned this season, winning both 2026 meetings, and moves Swiatek to 5-3 on record. Svitolina saved a match point before the end, 2 hours 17 minutes in; the reward is a place in the Canadian Open final.
