It is semi-finals day at the Canadian Open, as the men look to book their spot in the final in Montreal, while the women battle it out for a spot in Toronto's showpiece. ScoresStat will keep you up to date with all the latest scores and results.

07:15 CET - Elena Rybakina has completed the comeback after dropping the first set! The second seed has made a habit of going the distance in Toronto, so it was only fitting that she made the final by producing a spirited comeback against Gauff to book her place in the final, where Iga Swiatek awaits.

05:45 CET - Gauff takes the first set 7-5 over Rybakina after winning three of the last four games. Should Gauff hold on in the second set, it'll mark her singles return to the Canadian Open final since her last appearance in 2023. 

She won the title last year in doubles alongside McCartney Kessler.

04:55 CET - Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina are currently underway in the first set!

04:40 CET - After two hours and 17 minutes, Iga Swiatek holds off Elina Svitolina 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 as she advances to her first Canadian Open final and her first final of 2026 overall!

This now marks Swiatek's 14th Masters title appearance and her 31st final at just 25-years-old. Her win against Svitolina brings to 55 top-10 wins in her career. 

Now she awaits to see who she'll face between Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina as they prepare for the final match of the night.

04:05 CET - Ben Shelton advances to the Canadian Open final for the second straight year after defeating Learner Tien in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3!

Shelton was 0-2 against Tien heading into the matchup, but finally ends the winless record for his 32nd win of 2026.

He now looks to defend his title as he'll take on Brandon Nakashima, who defeated Rafael Jodar earlier in the day. Should Shelton win, he'll become just the second American men's player ever to win back-to-back Canadian Opens, joining John McEnroe (1984-1985), and the seventh men's player overall.

03:45 CET - Svitolina almost bagels Swiatek in the second set, 6-1, to tie things up!

03:20 CET - Shelton puts up five aces to win the first set against Tien, 6-2, as he looks to defend his 2025 title. Meanwhile, Tien will try to battle back to earn a spot in the Open's title match for the first time in his career.

03:07 CET - Swiatek takes the first set from Svitolina 6-3 as she's now one more away from making her first-ever Canadian Open final.

02:30 CET - The second semi-final match in Montreal is underway as Shelton takes on Tien! The winner will go on to face fellow American Brandon Nakashima, who took down Rafael Jodar in straight sets.

02:25 CET - Swiatek and Svitolina begin their semi-finals match in Toronto following a long rain delay.

02:20 CET - Nakashima takes down Jodar in straight sets, 7-6(3), 6-4, to advance to his first-ever Masters final!

He now awaits the winner of Learner Tien and Ben Shelton, who will take the court in Montreal shortly, as the men's Canadian Open will see an American hoist the trophy, no matter the outcome.

This marks Nakashima's fifth top-20 win of 2026 and his eighth in the last nine matches.

21:00 CET - Good evening and welcome back to a blockbuster night of action at the Canadian Open!

On the men's side of the tournament, we have surprise names in the semi-finals, while the women's tournament sees four heavyweights ready to slug it out for a spot in the final.

Starting with the men's tournament in Montreal, Rafael Jodar - who continues to stun the world with his incredible rise up the rankings - takes on American Brandon Nakashima, with both looking to reach a maiden Masters 1000 final.

The second men's semi-final sees defending champion Ben Shelton clash with another American, Learner Tien. The former was in irresistible form in the last round against Jakub Mensik, and is the big favourite to reach the final.

Over in Toronto, the first of two semis sees Iga Swiatek eyeing her first final appearance of a really tough 2026, when she meets former champion Elina Svitolina. Swiatek leads the head-to-head 4-3, but Svitolina has won their last two meetings.

Finally, Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina continues her hunt for the world number one ranking when she faces fourth seed Coco Gauff. This is a very exciting matchup because they have played just once before, all the way back in Canada in 2022.
