Swiatek Sweeps Past Past Rybakina In Toronto To Clinch First Title Of 2026

By IANS News August 14, 2026 • 10:10 AM View: 212

Iga Swiatek: Iga Swiatek broke her near year-long title drought, beating Elena Rybakina to win the Canadian Open women's singles crown.

The eighth-ranked Pole had not won a title or reached a final since winning in Seoul last September. But she capped a stellar run in Toronto with a dominant 6-2, 6-3 win over World No. 2 Rybakina in 75 minutes to claim her first title of the season -- and the 26th of her career.

It also marked her 12 WTA 1000 crown, moving her past Aryna Sabalenka (11) for the second-most since the format debuted in 2009. She now trails only Serena Williams (13).
