Ekaterina Alexandrova defeated Talia Gibson 5-7, 6-1, 6-3 — Canadian Open 2026 R32.
Talia Gibson and Ekaterina Alexandrova are level at 1–1 across 2 recorded meetings.
The second ball decided it. Alexandrova won 67 percent of her second-serve points to Gibson's 40, and with the WTA No. 72 landing 47 percent of first serves, the 16th seed took 26 of the 43 points behind that second delivery. The flip was quick. Alexandrova broke in game 3 for 2-1 and again in game 5 for 4-1, three of four on break points in that set. Gibson had built the opening set on eight aces and 86 percent of first-serve points won, then leaked seven double faults. The clinching break landed in game 8 for 5-3, 1h 55m in, and it avenges the only meeting the pair have on record before a Round of 16 with Sabalenka, the No. 1 at the time.
