Second seed Elena Rybakina, third seed Jessica Pegula and fourth seed Coco Gauff all advanced to the third round of the WTA 1000 tournament in Toronto on Wednesday, NDTV Sports reported. Rybakina, the Australian Open champion, needed two hours and 33 minutes to outlast Australian Daria Kasatkina 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, hitting 58 winners against 58 unforced errors, and will next face 28th seed Ann Li. Pegula, coming off a rain-affected final loss in Washington days earlier, needed three sets to beat Poland's Magdalena Frech 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, and will play Uzbekistan's Kamilla Rakhimova next. Gauff had the more straightforward day, beating fellow American Kayla Day 6-2, 7-5. World number five Mirra Andreeva also advanced in straight sets, beating Czech player Karolina Pliskova 6-0, 6-2. The report gave scores and next round opponents for each match but no broader assessment of the players' form heading into the US Open.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The scorelines themselves, including Rybakina's high error count alongside her winners tally, suggest closer contests than a simple list of three seeded wins might imply, a distinction the report's detail preserves. Advancing past an early round at a WTA 1000 event is a modest but real result, not yet evidence of tournament winning form, and the report does not make that stronger claim itself. With the US Open approaching, how Rybakina, Pegula and Gauff perform in their next round matches against Li, Rakhimova and an unnamed opponent respectively is the concrete result to check next.
