Iga Swiatek showed why she’s a force to reckon with, cruising past China’s Guo Hanyu 6-3, 6-1 at the Canadian Open 🎾. The Polish star, fresh off her Wimbledon triumph, broke serve six times in a match that felt more like a warm-up than a battle. Next up: Germany’s Eva Lys!
Meanwhile, Naomi Osaka delivered *peak drama* 💥. Down three match points against Russia’s Liudmila Samsonova, the four-time Grand Slam champ staged a Houdini act, clawing back to win 4-6, 7-6(6), 6-3. Talk about leveling up under pressure! 🎮
Osaka’s win marks her first top-20 victory since January—and her first with new coach Tomasz Wiktorowski. Proving she’s still got that clutch gene? Check. 🔥
