The Japanese player is already in the semifinal of a great tournament showing spectacular tennis. Is she back?
WTA
Naomi Osaka is on fire, and she's showing it at the WTA Montreal 2025. The Japanese player is already in the semifinals after swiftly defeating Elina Svitolina (6-2 6-2) in just 69 minutes of play. Osaka shone on serve and maintained a high level of play throughout the match, where she didn't give her opponent any chances. She will now face a very in-form player, Clara Tauson, in the semifinals, who comes in after victories against players like Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys in the previous rounds.

Clara Tauson has arrived in the elite to stay. Every match played by the Danish player in 2025 demonstrates that her breakthrough is not a one-day wonder, but the birth of a new star in the WTA universe. Today, in the quarterfinals of WTA Montreal 2025, she once again showed her composure, balance between defense and attack, and devastating tennis to easily defeat Madison Keys (6-1, 6-4) and secure her spot in the second WTA 1000 semifinals of the year. With this victory, and having defeated Swiatek in the previous round, Clara ensures a top-15 ranking for the first time in her career.

Day in and day out, we encounter unpleasant situations related to frustrated bettors in tennis. The latest one came after the match between Naomi Osaka and Elina Svitolina in the WTA Montreal 2025, a match that the Japanese player won in two sets (6-2 6-2). The Ukrainian player shared some of the messages she received after the loss: "I hope you die tonight" or "may Russia violate Ukrainian children" were just some of the gems she received.
Svitolina could only share the messages and leave a few brief words for all of them: "To all these bettors: I am a mother before an athlete, and the way you speak to a woman and a mother is shameful. Your mothers would be disappointed if they saw your messages."
Elina Svitolina showed the abusive & horrific messages she received from bettors after her loss to Naomi Osaka in Montreal.

How right are those who say that grandparents are eternal. Clara Tauson knows it well, as she faced the loss of one of them during the WTA Montreal 2025, specifically after her great triumph against Iga Swiatek. It didn't stop the Danish player from stepping onto the court, defeating Madison Keys, securing her spot in the semifinals and the top-15 next Monday... and of course, breaking down in tears when remembering him in her post-match interview. "Two days ago, my grandfather passed away. Today, I wanted to win for him. They informed me after my victory against Iga, so I wanted to go out and show my best tennis today. Hopefully, he's watching." A minute and a half that gives you goosebumps.

Immaculate performance from Cristina Bucsa in the qualifying round of the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati with a match that bordered on perfection against the American Mateas (6-1, 6-1). A victory that puts her one step away from the main draw in Ohio, a goal that has already ended for Nuria Párrizas, eliminated in the first round against the Australian Inglis in a match where she struggled after a strong start (1-6, 7-6, 6-2). We will be closely watching tomorrow to see if Bucsa can achieve the goal of advancing to a new WTA 1000 event.

Already in the semifinals of the WTA 1000 in Montreal, the young Canadian reviewed her schedule and shared her opinion on two-week-long tournaments.
It is never easy to be part of the main draw of a big tournament, and Cristina Bucsa and Nuria Párrizas know this well as they are both set to compete in a challenging qualifying phase to earn their spots in the WTA 1000 Cincinnati 2025. The player from Santander will debut against local player Mateas, while the player from Andalusia will face Inglis. The main attraction of the draw will be Laura Siegemund, who is returning to action after her good performance at Wimbledon and her modest run in Canada.

Elena Rybakina is gradually regaining good feelings and being in the semifinals of the WTA 1000 Montreal 2025 could be a morale boost for the Kazakh. She expressed this during a press conference, after taking advantage of Kostyuk's withdrawal. "The season hasn't been bad, it took me some time to recover my level after a difficult start, but now I am confident," she said before talking about her next opponent, Victoria Mboko. "She is a very dangerous rival, she has nothing to lose and will have the support of the crowd," said a woman who will return to the top 10 if she wins her next match.
