The second-seeded Polish player will now face German Eva Lys for a place in the quarterfinals.

Earlier this month, Świątek defeated American Amanda Anisimova 6–0, 6–0 to claim her maiden Wimbledon title and her sixth Grand Slam crown.

In addition to the Wimbledon trophy, the 24-year-old holds four French Open titles, one from the 2022 US Open.

The Canadian Open is a combined women's and men's hard-court tournament held annually in Montreal and Toronto.
