Clara Tauson will face four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka in the Canadian Open semi-finals, after the Japanese star reached the last four for the first time in her career.
Tauson had reached the last four by beating Grand Slam champion Madison Keys 6-1 6-4 to reach just the second WTA 1000 semi of her career.
Osaka beat Ukrainian Elina Svitolina 6-2 6-2 in the quarter-finals to reach her first WTA 1000 semi-final since 2022.

Svitolina said she received death threats following her defeat, and attributed the “shameful” behaviour to those who had bet on the match.
Osaka needed just over an hour to secure victory over 10th-seeded Svitolina.
