Canadian Open: Swiatek holds off Collins to line up Montreal semifinal with Pegula
World number one Iga Swiatek outlasted a determined Danielle Collins 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 on Friday to book a semifinal clash with Jessica Pegula at the WTA Montreal Open. “I really wanted to play powerful and I’m pretty happy that I managed to even increase the power in the third set,” said Swiatek, who claimed her fourth career Grand Slam title at the French Open this year. So I think I was just able to do it a little bit better today.” Thursday’s rain meant Liudmila Samsonova had to win twice on Friday to book her semifinal clash with third-seeded Elena Rybakina. Samsonova upset Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, the second seed, 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 in a third-round match postponed from Thursday, then returned to beat 12th-seeded Swiss Belinda Bencic 6-4, 6-4 in the quarters.
