Iga Swiatek to face Elena Rybakina in Canada Open final at Sobeys Stadium on August 14

Iga Swiatek will meet Elena Rybakina in the Canada Open 2026 final at Sobeys Stadium on August 14. The pair will contest their 13th tour meeting, with their head-to-head level at six wins apiece.

Elena Rybakina arrives in Toronto seeking her third title of the season while Swiatek will play her first WTA final in 2026. Rybakina recorded the most recent win between them, beating Swiatek in straight sets in their Australian Open quarter-final meeting in January. The matchup renews a rivalry that the two have split evenly through 12 previous encounters.

Rybakina reached her first Canadian Open final after rallying from a set down to defeat Coco Gauff 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 in two hours on Wednesday night. That comeback extended her run in the tournament and set up the title clash with Swiatek.

Swiatek advanced to the final with a 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 victory over Elina Svitolina, a match that lasted two hours and 17 minutes. She recovered from a break down in the decider to move into her 14th WTA 1000 final and will contest her first final in close to a year; Swiatek is a six-time Grand Slam champion.

Broadcast arrangements for the final list the Tennis Channel as the host for viewers in India, while fans in the United Kingdom can watch on BBC and Sky Sports. The Tennis Channel is also offering live coverage of the Toronto final for audiences in the United States.

The title match is set for August 14 at the Sobeys Stadium. The winner of that match will lift the Canada Open 2026 trophy.
