Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, and Canadian teen Victoria Mboko advanced to a WTA Canadian Open semifinal matchup with triumphs on Monday in the Montreal hard court event.

World No.12 Rybakina of Kazakhstan led 6-1, 2-1 when Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk retired in the second set with a wrist injury.
Mboko, the shocker of the event, dispatched Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-4, 6-2 by taking the final six games to reach her first WTA 1000 semifinal in pursuit of her first trip to a WTA final.
"I’m so excited to be in the semifinal here," Mboko told the supportive home nation crowd. "I want to thank everyone for your support once again. It has been unreal."
Rybakina won their only prior meeting 6-3, 7-5 last month in the second round at Washington.
