Iga Swiatek rallied past Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 in the Toronto semifinal on Wednesday to reach her first final of the season. The Pole recovered from a break down in the decider, winning the final four games to set up a championship match against Elena Rybakina. Rybakina of Kazakhstan beat fourth seed Coco Gauff 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 in the other semifinal, marking her second comeback win in a row. Swiatek, a former world number one, has had an inconsistent year, failing to advance past the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam and changing coaches after a second-round loss in Miami.
