Sabalenka knocked out in Toronto — Świątek semi-final clash won't happen

World number one Aryna Sabalenka was sensationally knocked out of the WTA 1000 tournament in Toronto, losing to Yekaterina Alexandrova after more than two and a half hours. The defeat ends hopes of a highly anticipated semi-final clash between Sabalenka and Świątek, who had already progressed to the quarter-finals. The two last met at the Roland Garros semi-finals the previous season.
