Rybakina beats Osaka to reach Canadian Open semifinals against Gauff

Elena Rybakina pulled off a dramatic comeback in the Wimbledon quarter‑finals, defeating former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka 6‑7(5), 3‑6, 6‑3, 6‑2. After falling behind two sets to nil, the Kazakh player rallied to win the last two sets and secure her place in the semi‑finals. Osaka, who entered the tournament as a former champion and was looking to regain her form, was unable to maintain her early momentum.

The victory marks Rybakina’s second consecutive win over Osaka in a Grand Slam match, underscoring her growing confidence on grass courts. With the win, she will face the top seed, Coco Gauff, in the semi‑finals for a spot in the Wimbledon final. Gauff, who has already dispatched two opponents in straight sets, will look to extend her run to the championship match.

Rybakina’s performance highlights her resilience and adaptability, while the upcoming clash with Gauff promises another high‑stakes encounter. The semi‑final will determine which of the two will advance to the final, where they may face the eventual champion of the tournament.
