MONTREAL – Elena Rybakina secured her spot in the semi-finals of the Canadian Open after Marta Kostyuk’s withdrawal due to an apparent arm injury. The score reflected a Rybakina lead of 6-1 and 2-1 at the time of the interruption.<\/p>\n
Rybakina, ninth seed and representing Kazakhstan, converted three of the ten break opportunities she had during the quarter-final match at the IGA Stadium. The match was stopped at 54 minutes, at which point both players shook hands and Kostyuk, seeded number 24, left the court in tears.<\/p>\n
After the third game, the Ukrainian coaches taped their forearm with medical tape.<\/p>\n
Rybakina will face the winner of the match between young Canadian sensation Victoria Mboko and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain.<\/p>\n
Mboko surprised top seed Coco Gauff on Saturday, winning the uneven match in straight sets in just 62 minutes.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old from Toronto has climbed from outside the top 300 to 85th in the WTA ranking in a breakthrough year.<\/p>\n
The tournament final is scheduled for Thursday. It is worth noting that the top five seeds of the event were eliminated before the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
