Ekaterina Alexandrova and Elina Svitolina collide for the fifth time, with the winner advancing to the semifinals at the 2026 Canadian Open.

Caesars Sportsbook set the over/under at a modest 21.5 games.

Current Form:

Ekaterina Alexandrova stunned Aryna Sabalenka 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals of the 2026 Canadian Open. The 19th-ranked Alexandrova produced almost identical numbers with Sabalenka across the board, but the Russian delivered the heavy points in the most crucial moments of the match. With the win, Alexandrova reached the quarterfinals of a WTA 1000 event for the first time since the 2025 Qatar Open.

Elina Svitolina posted another sweep against Amanda Anisimova 6-2, 6-4. The Ukrainian won 80 percent of her first serves and converted five break chances against the 2025 US Open finalist. Svitolina, a quarterfinalist at Washington two weeks ago, is 24-6 on the hard court in 2026.

The Matchup: Svitolina leads Alexandrova 3-1 in their head-to-head series. However, their last meeting took place in 2021, with Alexandrova winning on the grass of Berlin 6-4, 7-5.
