Aryna Sabalenka became the latest Top 5 seed to be eliminated from the Canadian Open after the 19th-ranked Ekaterina Alexandrova defeated the world No. 1 in a back-and-forth 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-4 victory that spanned two hours and 29 minutes.

The win marked Alexandrova's third win over a world No. 1, following victories over Iga Swiatek (Miami 2024) and Sabalenka (Doha 2025). It's also her sixth WTA 1000 quarterfinal appearance and her first since Doha 2025.
