She’s back… First final of the year, first title. It’s been a while since we have seen this version of Iga Swiatek. Maybe she has figured it all out. And if she has… 👀

🎾 #Tennis #NBOToronto #NBO2026 #NationalBankOpen Iga Swiatek defeats Elean Rybakina in straight sets. "It's Iga Swiatek, the champion in Canada!!" The question everyone is now asking is, "Is Iga back?"

Iga Swiatek wins Toronto! What a tournament! She served well(!), was brave on her shots, and rediscovered that viciously-spun short forehand. And she's bringing receipts in the post-match interview with Sportsnet, says she's angry and doesn't "give a shit" about experts at home. 💪🎾 #NBOpen

Tennis star Iga Świątek celebrating her 2026 National Bank Open victory in Toronto with the resident golden retriever and mascot of Sobeys Stadium. Elway the Dog stole the show by lying on his back for belly rubs from the champion instead of letting her pose w/ the trophy right away. Winners both.

9 - This is Iga Swiatek's ninth WTA-1000 final win against a WTA-1000 champion, surpassing Aryna Sabalenka (8) for the outright-most such wins of any player since the format's introduction in 2009. Legitimate. #NBO26 | @wtatour.bsky.social

Ben Shelton defended his title 🏆 at the 2026 Canadian Open in Montreal last night Everyone knows he has a rocket for a 1st serve, but Shelton's second serve is really insane... In the past 52 weeks, 27% (!!!) of his second serves have been unreturned, per @tennisviz.bsky.social

Polish tennis superstar Iga Świątek has claimed her first title of the season, defeating Elena Rybakina 6–2, 6–3 in the WTA 1000 final in Toronto. It is the Pole’s first-ever triumph in Toronto, her 26th career title and 12th at WTA 1000 level.

"I'm really happy about this tournament, it means so, so much to me...despite all the opinions people have about me on the Internet...." "I want to dedicate this trophy to all the people who are feeling judgment and hate....." --Toronto champion Iga Swiatek #WTA

Oy vey. Emiliana Arango won her qualifying match and got placed in the main draw to play against Venus Williams. The winner of that match will play Iga Swiatek (assuming she does not withdraw after winning in Toronto). Brutal draw #Cincy #Tennis

Iga Swiatek beats back the haters and the doubters in her speech. Yes! Good for her! #tennis #Toronto
