Cori Gauff had the easiest of passages to the semi-finals at the WTA Toronto, where the fourth seed will meet second seed Elena Rybakina. This will be the two players’ second meeting and the first time in the semis at the Canadian Open for both. Gauff is the fresher of the two, having spent less time on the court, and has the head-to-head advantage, the reason our prediction favors her.
Gauff has gone on a perfect run in Toronto, not losing a set so far. She got a double favor in the quarters after her opponent, Belinda Bencic, pulled out.
That means more rest for the American, who has now played five hours fewer than her opponent. Hoping for her third final of the year, Gauff sits fifth in the live ranking.
This match pits two in-form players who are also hardcourt specialists. On this surface this season, Gauff has won 76% of her matches and Rybakina 83%.
Rybakina will want to ride that slight advantage, but such margins may be negligible in an encounter of this magnitude. The world No. 2 lost her only duel against Gauff right here in Toronto in 2022, in three sets.
She will hope lightning doesn’t strike twice, even though she has lost a set in three of her four matches here. The Kazakh is aiming for a third title of the year and a fourth final appearance.
To get here, she saw off Naomi Osaka in a tough three-setter.
