Poor conditions in northern Toronto forced organisers to push back the National Bank Open semifinals by at least an hour, with action on Centre Court eventually getting under way at 8 p.m. local time rather than the scheduled 7 p.m. slot.
When play finally resumed, Iga Świątek made light work of Elina Svitolina in their third encounter of the 2026 WTA Tour season. The Pole booked her place in Sunday's final - and with it, a shot at her first title of the year.
She will face the winner of the other semifinal between Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina.
The doubles semifinal between Katerina Siniakova and Zhang Shuai and the pairing of Tereza Mihalikova and Olivia Nicholls was also held up by the weather. Siniakova and Zhang held a commanding 6-1, 4-2 lead in the second set when play was suspended.
