The Story in Brief
Iga Swiatek reached the Canadian Open fourth round with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Viktorija Golubic in 66 minutes, Telengana Today reports. Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula also progressed, beating Shuai Zhang and Kamilla Rakhimova respectively. Sabalenka’s 6-3, 6-4 victory took her to 25-1 on hard courts this season.
Alexandra Eala defeated Alycia Parks 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 to reach the singles third round, two days after winning her first WTA singles title in Washington. The 20-year-old Filipina later exited the doubles draw with Venus Williams after losing to Liudmila Samsonova and Miyu Kato in the opening round. Amanda Anisimova also advanced with a comeback win over Nikola Bartunkova.
The Indian Opinion
The easy storyline is that one big win has made Eala an instant contender, while a doubles defeat is being treated as a setback. Both readings are too quick. Her singles progress matters more, but the next round will show whether she can sustain her level after a title and a venue change. Sabalenka’s 25-1 hard-court record offers a clearer benchmark. Can Eala force a seeded opponent into a deciding set?
