Jessica Pegula, currently ranked World No. 3, heads into her Canadian Open third-round match against Kamilla Rakhimova as the clear favorite. Pegula boasts a stellar record at this tournament and has demonstrated remarkable consistency in 2026, including reaching at least the quarterfinals in most of her events this season. Kamilla Rakhimova has not advanced beyond the third round at big tournaments and holds a poor record against Top 10 players. Expect Pegula to maintain her dominance and progress to the quarterfinals.

Pegula Builds on Comeback Victory

Jessica Pegula came from a set down to defeat Magdalena Frech 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 and reach the third round in Toronto. The American dropped serve three times but broke her opponent on five occasions to complete the comeback. 

Apart from her third-round exit in Montreal on her most recent appearance, Pegula has reached at least the semifinals in each of her other four Canadian Open main-draw campaigns. She will be looking to extend that outstanding record this week. 

The American has reached at least the quarterfinals in 10 of her 12 tournaments this season, underlining her remarkable consistency. On hard courts alone, she owns an impressive 23-5 record in 2026.

Rakhimova Seeks Biggest Career Win

Kamilla Rakhimova defeated Katerina Siniakova 6-7, 6-0, 5-2 to reach the third round in Toronto. After dropping the opening set, the Russian capitalized on Siniakova's physical struggles before her opponent was forced to retire. 

This is the first time Rakhimova has recorded multiple main-draw wins at any level this season. Before this week, her only notable result in 2026 was a quarterfinal appearance at Queen's Club, where she benefited from a first-round bye as a lucky loser. 

This is Rakhimova's best result at the Canadian Open. On her only previous appearance, in Montreal in 2025, she was eliminated in the second round.
