The American is yet to claim a trophy this season. However, the 22-year-old has retained her place in the top‑5 rankings with runner‑up finishes in Miami and Rome, and a semifinal finish at Wimbledon. Gauff entered her first quarterfinal at the Canadian Open in three years after defeating Kayla Day, Maria Sakkari and Korneeva in straight sets. The win moves Gauff into her 25th career WTA 1000 quarterfinal.

With a 24-5 record against players ranked outside the top 10 this season, Bencic has shown remarkable consistency, reaching the fourth round at Indian Wells, Madrid, Roland-Garros and Wimbledon. However, she is still searching for her first semifinal appearance of 2026, having suffered quarterfinal exits in Miami and Charleston.
