The WTA 1000 Toronto 2026 has defined its four quarter-finals after a day that completed the lower part of the draw. Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina proved their status as favorites, while Naomi Osaka and Belinda Bencic also secured their spots. 

The Japanese player defeated Leylah Fernandez, while Bencic halted the extraordinary week of Alexandra Eala with a decisive 6-4 and 6-0. Thus, four highly anticipated matchups are set. Earlier, Rybakina and Gauff affirmed their favoritism against Samsonova and Korneeva.

  • Iga Swiatek vs Diana Shnaider

  • Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Elina Svitolina

  • Belinda Bencic vs Coco Gauff

  • Naomi Osaka vs Elena Rybakina

What to Expect from the Quarter-Finals

In the upper part of the draw, it is impossible not to think that Iga Swiatek is facing her great opportunity to regain the confidence lost earlier this season and achieve that coveted turning point that will help her reconnect with herself, seeing how the changes made in her game and life a few months ago are starting to pay off. She will not have it easy against Diana Shnaider, just as Elina Svitolina will find it challenging to overcome a Ekaterina Alexandrova boosted in confidence after defeating Sabalenka.

Regarding the lower part of the draw, everything seems very open. Elena Rybakina pursues the number 1 ranking, and Cori Gauff must hold the title of strong title contender by status, but the rivals of both are extremely dangerous. Naomi Osaka continues to show unmistakable signs of improvement, while Belinda Bencic's tennis adapts very well to the conditions of the Canadian tournament.

Ultimately, this WTA 1000 Toronto 2026 will offer spectacular quarter-final matches that should be relished by any lover of this sport. Anything can happen, and nothing should be surprising.
