Canadian Open: Swiatek stunned by Tauson ; Osaka roars into quarters

Montreal: Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek became the latest seed to fall at the WTA Canadian Open on Sunday, stunned 7-6 (7/1), 6-3 by 19th-ranked Dane Clara Tauson in the fourth round.

Swiatek, ranked third in the world and seeded second in Montreal, followed top-seeded Coco Gauff, third-seeded two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula and fourth-seeded Mirra Andreeva out of the door.

Fifth-seeded American Amanada Anisimova followed later with a straight-sets loss to Elina Svitolina.

Tauson booked a quarterfinal berth against Australian Open champion Madison Keys, who saved two match points on the way to a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory over Czech Karolina Muchova.

It was the Keys’ third win of the year in which she overcame a match point.

Meanwhile, it was clear sailing for former world No. 1, Naomi Osaka, who needed just 49 minutes to blast past Anastasija Sevastova 6-1, 6-0.

The second-quickest win of Osaka’s career put her into her first quarterfinal at the 1000 or Grand Slam level since Doha in 2024. Agencies
