Clara Tauson Upsets Iga Swiatek at Canadian Open Montreal Quarterfinals

Denmark's Clara Tauson upset second-seeded Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek at the Canadian Open in Montreal, winning 7-6 (7/1), 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals. This victory avenged Tauson's earlier loss to Swiatek at Wimbledon and marked her second career win over a top-five player, highlighting her growing confidence and strong performance, including saving seven of nine break points and attacking Swiatek's forehand. Tauson will face sixth-seeded Madison Keys, who advanced after a tough match against Karolina Muchova. Meanwhile, Naomi Osaka cruised into the quarter-finals with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Anastasija Sevastova, marking her first quarter-final appearance at a WTA 1000 or Grand Slam event since early 2024. The tournament has seen several top seeds fall early, including Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Mirra Andreeva, and Amanda Anisimova, underscoring the unpredictability of the event. Tauson's smart, aggressive play and strong serving were key to her success against the reigning Wimbledon champion.
