Elina Svitolina extended her WTA 1000 winning streak to 10 matches on Monday night in Toronto.

The Ukrainian rallied past Ekaterina Alexandrova 3-6, 6-0, 6-3 in the quarterfinals to book her spot in the Canadian Open 2026 semifinals. Next up is No. 7 seed Iga Świątek.

Elina Svitolina Flips Momentum in Toronto

Despite the final score, Alexandrova had every reason to feel confident early in the match.

She was riding the aggressive baseline game that toppled world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka a round earlier, and she used it to take the opener 6-3. Then Svitolina flipped the match on its head.

The 2017 Toronto champion reeled off 11 of the next 12 games and built a 5-1 lead in the decider. Alexandrova clawed back to 5-3 before Svitolina broke in the ninth game to close it out in 1 hour, 33 minutes.

"I think she was playing really well, serving really unreturnable to be fair," Svitolina said afterward. "So I had to really try to find opportunities to see the ball better and I think focusing on myself more. I found my game was playing really well from the baseline after."

The result is Svitolina's fourth WTA 1000 semifinal of 2026, the most on this season's WTA Tour. Świątek will be familiar territory. The Polish star leads their all-time series 4-3, but Svitolina has taken both 2026 meetings, at Indian Wells and Rome. Each went the distance.

"For me it will be important to stay physical. It's going to be lots of long rallies," Svitolina said of the upcoming meeting.

"She's also a great fighter. It's going to be about trying to find the keys in that game, trying to find the particular patterns that are going to work against her."

Naomi Osaka advanced to the 2026 Bad Homburg Open semifinals on Thursday, beating Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-2, 6-2 in just 59 minutes. The four-time Grand Slam champion is now one win from her first-career grass-court final.

Naomi Osaka Continues Dominant Grass-Court Run

Osaka fell behind with a break in the opening set. But she recovered quickly, rattling off eight straight games and 15 consecutive points to take the first frame and jump out to a 3-0 lead in the second.

Alexandrova held serve twice late. However, she couldn't hold off the former US Open winner, as Osaka closed out the match without much trouble.

"Obviously I can't say that I've had much experience on grass, but I feel really good right now," Osaka said after the win. She pointed to coach Tomas Wiktorowski, who came on board last July, as a key reason for her comfort on the surface.

The sixth seed has yet to drop a set at the German tournament, following wins over Magdalena Frech (6-4, 6-1) and world No. 26 Elise Mertens (6-3, 6-3).

With Wimbledon days away, the world No. 15 is building form at the right time.

Ekaterina Alexandrova knocked off Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-4 at the 2026 Bad Homburg Open on Wednesday. The second-round win ended the world No. 5's first competitive grass-court WTA match this season.

Mirra Andreeva Faces Tough Transition After French Open Win

Andreeva entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed after winning her first Grand Slam title at the 2026 French Open. The 19-year-old subsequently skipped the Berlin Open to rest. However, the time away raised more questions than answers, as No. 19 Alexandrova looked sharper from the start, breaking serve in the eighth game to take the opening set.

From there, the veteran pulled even further ahead.

Alexandrova opened the second set with a 4-0 run, going on to win 74% of her first-serve points throughout the match. Andreeva managed 21 winners and broke back late, but the deficit was ultimately too large to overcome.

Wimbledon Looms as Andreeva Exits WTA Bad Homburg

Despite the loss, Andreeva's attention now turns to the next WTA Grand Slam: Wimbledon. The 19-year-old reached the quarterfinals in London last year, and now have a few days to adjust before the 2026 draw begins.

Alexandrova, meanwhile, advances in Germany while adding a quality grass-court result to her season. She'll next face an in-form Naomi Osaka, after the Japanese fan favorite dispatched Elise Mertens earlier in the week.

The pair's first meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, live on The Tennis Channel.

The world's top tennis stars are rolling in Melbourne, as the first round of the 2026 Australian Open wrapped early Tuesday morning with only a few ranked seeds suffering early defeats.

World No. 15 Emma Navarro was the highest-ranked US player to fall in the first round, with the 24-year-old exiting the season's first Grand Slam in a 6-3, 3-6, 3-6 loss to Poland's No. 50 Magda Linette on Sunday.

No. 11 Ekaterina Alexandrova also stumbled in the first round, with her Melbourne run ending in a three-set loss to Turkey's No. 112 Zeynep Sönmez on Saturday before No. 68 Peyton Stearns ousted fellow US star and 2020 Australian Open champion No. 30 Sofia Kenin in straight sets on Sunday.

Many contenders still remain in the hunt, however, as the entire WTA Top 10 cruised through their opening matchups to advance to the Slam's second round.

That said, fans will miss out on one highly anticipated showdown, as wild card entry Venus Williams's first-round loss ended the 45-year-old tennis icon's path to a second-round clash with US favorite No. 3 Coco Gauff.

How to watch the second round of the 2026 Australian Open

The 2026 Australian Open continues when the Slam's second round kicks off with a Tuesday night slate that features stars like No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, No. 3 Coco Gauff, and No. 7 Jasmine Paolini.
