Kasatkina Eyes Back-to-Back Wins
Daria Kasatkina produced a remarkable comeback to defeat Xinyu Wang 1-6, 7-6, 7-5 and reach the second round in Toronto. The Russian trailed by a break at 1-4 in the second set and again at 3-5 in the decider before fighting back to seal the victory.
Her next challenge is to string together consecutive wins, something she has failed to do in each of her previous four appearances in Toronto, losing in the second round on three occasions.
Kasatkina has played 17 tournaments this season and registered multiple main-draw wins only five times, highlighting her inconsistency. Her best results include a quarterfinal in Strasbourg, third-round runs at both the French Open and Wimbledon, and the WTA 125 title in La Bisbal.

Rybakina Looks to Regain Her Best Form
Elena Rybakina has performed below her usual standards in recent tournaments, winning only four matches across her last four events, including an opening-round defeat to Alexandra Eala in Berlin.
Despite that recent dip, the Kazakh enjoyed an outstanding start to the season. She reached eight quarterfinals or better, highlighted by winning the Australian Open title, a run that helped her climb to a career-high ranking of No. 2.
This is Rybakina's fifth appearance at the Canadian Open. She reached the semifinals twice in Montreal but lost in the second round on her only previous visit to Toronto in 2022.

Verdict
Daria Kasatkina showed great fighting spirit to come through her opening-round match, but her overall performance was far from convincing. Against a player of Elena Rybakina's caliber, that level is unlikely to be enough, and the Kazakh should have the edge to progress to the next round.
