In a significant development at the WTA Toronto Masters, world number four Coco Gauff has advanced to the semi-finals after her opponent, Belinda Bencic, withdrew from the match due to a hip injury. This unexpected turn of events was confirmed by tournament officials on Tuesday.
Upcoming Match
The 22-year-old American tennis star, Coco Gauff, is set to compete on Wednesday, aiming for a spot in Thursday’s final. She will face the winner of the match between four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka from Japan and the second-ranked Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan.
Bencic Steps Back
Belinda Bencic, a 29-year-old from Switzerland, who is currently ranked 14th in the world, decided to withdraw with the upcoming US Open looming later this month. Notably, Bencic has never reached a Grand Slam final throughout her career.
Head-to-Head Record
Coco Gauff boasts an impressive head-to-head record against Bencic, standing at 6-2 in their previous encounters. This year, Gauff has triumphed over Bencic in crucial matches including a fourth-round victory at Wimbledon and a quarter-final match in Miami.
