Iga Swiatek opened her tournament in dominant fashion, delivering a first set bagel as part of a nine-game run against Czech player Sara Bejlek.

Swiatek survived that game and closed out the match 6-0, 6-3.
Gibson Upsets Chwalinska:
Australian Talia Gibson produced the upset of the Toronto day session, defeating No. 18 seed Maja Chwalinska to advance to the second round. Chwalinska had been one of the most in-form players on the WTA tour heading into the tournament following her Roland Garros final run earlier in 2026.
Sebov Run Ends:
Katherine Sebov’s remarkable Canadian Open run came to an end in the second round against Marta Kostyuk. The Ukrainian survived a chaotic opening set, putting only 30 percent of first serves in play and double-faulting seven times, before pulling away to win 7-6(4), 6-0.
