Iga Swiatek beat Viktorija Golubic 6-2, 6-1 in 66 minutes to reach the Canadian Open fourth round in Toronto, Telangana Today reports. The No. 7 seed conceded three games and will next meet either Marta Kostyuk or Madison Keys. Alexandra Eala, the No. 25 seed, defeated Alycia Parks 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 in 1 hour 51 minutes to enter the third round.
Eala, 20, returned to action two days after winning her first WTA singles title at the Citi DC Open in Washington. She dominated the opening set, lost the second after Parks converted a late break, then secured the decisive break in the third set before winning three straight games.
One easy storyline is that Swiatek’s smooth win makes her the tournament favourite, while Eala’s recent title proves she is ready for a major breakthrough. Both claims go beyond the evidence. Swiatek has reached only the fourth round, and Eala still had to recover after losing the second set. Their next matches will offer a better measure, especially whether Swiatek handles a seeded opponent and whether Eala can maintain her level over another three-set test.
