Sakkari Carries Athens Momentum
Maria Sakkari defeated Zeynep Sonmez 6-3, 6-2 to reach the third round in Toronto. The Greek dropped serve just once and won 85 percent of her first-serve points in a commanding performance.
Sakkari recently regained confidence by reaching the final in Athens, where she finished runner-up to Barbora Krejcikova. Although she fell short of the title, it was an important breakthrough after an inconsistent run of results.
The former world No. 3 has played 14 tournaments this season and has registered multiple main-draw wins only four times, highlighted by a semifinal in Doha and third-round appearances at both the French Open and Wimbledon.
In her previous six appearances at the Canadian Open, Sakkari has recorded multiple main-draw wins only once, reaching the round of 16 in Montreal in 2021.

Gauff Targets Another Round of 16
Coco Gauff opened her Toronto campaign with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over Kayla Day. Despite the straight-sets win, the American endured another inconsistent serving display, dropping serve three times and committing 10 double faults.
The 22-year-old has been remarkably consistent at the Canadian Open, reaching the round of 16 in each of her five previous appearances. She will now be looking to extend that impressive streak.
Gauff lost significant ranking points during the clay season after failing to defend her French Open title. However, she responded with her best-ever Wimbledon result, reaching the semifinals, and will be aiming to carry that momentum through the North American hard-court swing.
