Elena Rybakina vs Zheng Qinwen — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their QUARTERFINAL at the 2026 US Open. The World No. 1 ranking on one side, the most improbable run of the tournament on the other.Elena Rybakina is one win from the top of the game. The second seed and reigning Australian Open champion is GUARANTEED TO REPLACE ARYNA SABALENKA AS WORLD NO. 1 if she reaches the semifinals here. She has been overwhelming all fortnight and produced her best performance yet in the round of 16, overpowering Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4 in a rematch of their Toronto quarterfinal. Add the Canadian Open final and 42 wins in her last 50 hard-court matches, and she is the form player on this surface.Zheng Qinwen's run is one of the stories of the year. The Paris 2024 Olympic gold medallist and former World No. 4 fell to No. 121 after elbow surgery and had to come through QUALIFYING just to reach this main draw. She is now the FIRST QUALIFIER TO REACH THE US OPEN LAST EIGHT SINCE EMMA RADUCANU WON THE TITLE IN 2021 — and she has done it the hard way. Twice. She erased a 5-0 deficit and saved match point to beat Madison Keys 1-6, 7-6(3), 7-5, then fell 5-0 down AGAIN against Iga Swiatek before reeling off SEVEN STRAIGHT GAMES to win 7-5, 6-3 — against an opponent who led their head-to-head 7-1.That single previous loss for Swiatek? The Paris 2024 Olympic semifinal, where Zheng also came from behind. This is what she does.An eight-match winning streak and nothing to lose against the most powerful player in the draw with the No. 1 ranking on the line. Who reaches the semifinals?

Elena Rybakina vs Naomi Osaka — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their FOURTH ROUND clash at the 2026 US Open. A Toronto rematch just four weeks on, with a quarterfinal and the World No. 1 ranking both in play.Elena Rybakina is the second seed, the reigning Australian Open champion, and she is INCHING CLOSER TO WORLD NO. 1 with every round in New York. She has been efficient all week, coming through American wild card Thea Frodin and then Yuliia Starodubtseva 7-6, 6-3 to reach the last 16. She is also the form hard-court player on tour, and she is the reigning Canadian Open finalist — she went on from beating Osaka in Toronto to make the final there.Naomi Osaka looks like her old self. The four-time Grand Slam champion — a two-time US Open winner — has been building all summer: a run to the DC Open semifinals in Washington, a quarterfinal in Toronto, and now her deepest New York run in years. She beat Hailey Baptiste, then Daria Kasatkina to reach a Grand Slam round of 16 for the first time since 2021, and survived a genuine test against 23rd seed Elise Mertens 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 in 2 hours and 38 minutes, squandering three match points before closing it out.And this is the rematch. Just four weeks ago in the Toronto quarterfinals — their FIRST EVER meeting — Osaka won the opening set before Rybakina came back to take it 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 across 2 hours and 33 minutes, firing 13 aces and saving four break points in the decider. Osaka was a set up and right there. She gets another crack, on the court where she has won two majors.

Iga Swiatek vs Zheng Qinwen — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their FOURTH ROUND clash at the 2026 US Open. A six-time Grand Slam champion against an Olympic gold medallist who had to QUALIFY just to get here. One of the great comeback stories of the year.Iga Swiatek is seeded eighth, unusually low for her, after an erratic season — though she found form to win the Canadian Open in Toronto, beating Elina Svitolina and reaching the final. In New York she has been grinding rather than gliding: she needed two tiebreaks to get past 25th seed Marie Bouzkova 7-6(3), 7-6(3), dominating both breakers to reach the last 16. The 2022 US Open champion is chasing a second title here, and her section has been the toughest in the draw all fortnight.Zheng Qinwen's story is remarkable. The Paris 2024 Olympic gold medallist and former World No. 4 fell to No. 121 after elbow surgery and a year of stop-start rehab — she had to come through QUALIFYING just to reach this main draw. Now she's on a SIX-MATCH WINNING STREAK and back in the US Open round of 16 for the first time in two years, after producing the comeback of the tournament: from 5-0 DOWN in the deciding set and SAVING MATCH POINT against 22nd seed Madison Keys, she won the final SEVEN GAMES to take it 1-6, 7-6(3), 7-5.Two months ago Zheng lost to Alexandra Eala in the first round in Washington. This is a completely different player. Swiatek is the heavy favourite on paper — but nobody in this draw has more momentum or less to lose.

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert kick things off with Ben Nicholson-Smith (1:23) ahead of tonight's matchup between the Blue Jays and the Royals. They break down how the team performed against The Guardians to get back into the playoff hunt, Vladdy's bat, and much more. Then, with changes coming to the PGA tour format, Adam Stanley joins the show (27:12) to break down what is next for the PGA tour and the future of the Canadian Open.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Bring back the US Open Series! The summer hard court swing continues on its confusing cadence. We spent a few nights at the National Bank Open in Toronto – James unwittingly sat in Iga Swiatek Country and witnessed her return to form (ok, I've already said too much). The other biggest stories in tennis these days are: Alex Eala, Rafa Jodar, injuries, and the innumerable opinions on the Williams sisters. Should Venus ******? Should Serena take that wild card? I don't know man, I'm just trying to enjoy the waning days of summer . Finally, Nick Kyrgios got ahead of the story and announced that he'd tested positive for cocaine in Mallorca, which is a substance of abuse under WADA guidelines. This means if it's in-competition: very very bad; out of competition: meh. 1:10 Our visit to the Canadian Open in Toronto 9:05 A few more ball kid photoshoots should do the trick 12:25 Jannik out, Carlos in as injuries derail the North American hot boy summer 18:45 Was the Serena comeback always a lark and we all just took it too seriously? 24:20 Checking in on Cincinnati 29:05 Kyrgios and cocaine: looking for empathy, not always finding it 45:00 Funny like I'm a clown? Like I amuse you? 47:10 Kingston, Jamaica has a Challenger event!

Golf mental game meets unforgettable PGA Tour stories as 1989 Open Champion Mark Calcavecchia and “The Confidence Doctor” Dr. Bob Winters return to Next on the Tee. Dr. Bob shares a powerful lesson on how ego can hurt your golf game, particularly on the greens. Using stories and wisdom from legends including Arnold Palmer, Bruce Crampton, Doug Sanders, and Jean Van de Velde, he explains how putting your ego aside can lead to better decisions, more confidence, and lower scores. Then Mark Calcavecchia takes us inside some remarkable moments from his PGA Tour career. We revisit his record nine consecutive birdies at the 2009 Canadian Open at Glen Abbey, including the hilarious story of what was happening inside his group as the streak kept growing. Mark also takes us back to his dominant 2001 Phoenix Open victory, when he shot 60 and ultimately won by eight over Rocco Mediate. When did he realize 59 was within reach? And how did he avoid becoming another player who surrendered a huge Sunday lead? Mark explains why, like Arnold Palmer, his philosophy was simple: keep attacking. Plus, Mark shares his thoughts on the proposed PGA Tour changes for 2028, the possibility of promotion and relegation between the Championship and Challenger Series, and whether we'll continue seeing him on PGA Tour Champions in 2027. It's golf psychology, putting confidence, PGA Tour history, legendary stories, and plenty of laughs with two longtime favorites. Next on the Tee — Where Golf Legends Live & Your Game Gets Better.

Canadian Open chaos!

Veteran Canadian broadcaster Lloyd Robertson has died at 92. Fellow CTV anchor and friend Sandie Rinaldo says he was a comfort to Canada in its darkest moments. Five UN special rapporteurs urge the Canadian government to do more to protect Sikh activist Moninder Singh and his family amid credible threats to his life. But he tells us that so far, nothing has changed. The mayor of St. Catharines, Ontario says flooding has devastated his city, and his own home — and cleaning up the mess will require a lot of help. Canada's brand-new "foreign influence" office isn't designed to put an end to interference from outside. So we'll ask its new commissioner what it is designed to do. A Tennis Canada organizer tells us he expects the Filipino community to show up for star Alexandra Eala at the Canadian Open tonight. He says he hasn't seen hype like this for a Filipino athlete since Manny Pacquiao. A new study suggests that sitting up straight could make your mood and your decision-making better, establishing — once and for all — that you're no slouch. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition.

WTA Weekly is back as we break down a landmark week in Washington that could prove to be one of the defining moments of the 2026 WTA season. Alex Eala made history by capturing her maiden WTA title with a stunning comeback victory over Jessica Pegula, securing a place inside the world's Top 20 and further cementing her status as one of the brightest stars in women's tennis. We discuss just how significant this breakthrough is, whether Eala is ready to challenge for the biggest titles, and how far she can realistically go over the coming months. We also assess Jessica Pegula's disappointing defeat. Should Washington be viewed as a missed opportunity, or does the American remain one of the leading contenders heading into the US Open despite falling short in the final? Plus, we look ahead to the Canadian Open in Toronto, preview the biggest storylines, analyse the key draw implications, and highlight the players to watch as the North American hard-court swing continues.

The Canadian Open used to be a crucial, epic stop in the ATP calendar. Federer reached many finals and won the tournament twice. Rafael Nadal has won five titles there, second only to Ivan Lendl with six. Novak Djokovic played many epics here against the Big 4 members, and won his first Masters title in Montreal in 2007. Then, why do players well established in the Elite of the Tennis world, Novak Djokovic included, have seemingly collectively decided that it isn't worth their time and effort anymore? A few reasons explored are: the calendar and the controversial two-week format, the men's Grand Slam format, and the state of the Montreal facilities and site.

22% of a pro draft tied back to one week, one trip, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes work, and that's where our minds go first: what does consistency actually look like when the schedule is chaos? We're fresh off the Canadian Open and the PWHL draft, and we use that momentum to talk about the habits that make performance repeatable, whether you're an athlete, a weekend golfer, or building something long term.Heidi Cannon joins us for a wide-ranging hang that somehow makes perfect sense: the killer golf putter that instantly earned its spot in the bag, the birdie juice and fairways culture that keeps golf fun, and the dream of taking the whole vibe to Korea and beyond. We also get into the human side, from dancing at a Canada match during a 6 to 0 win to the kind of life stories you only get by saying yes, including her time living in Australia and the meter maid job that still sounds unreal.Then we lock back into the high performance mindset: competition prep, posing practice, training blocks, and why golf can be the ideal low impact outlet when you're dieting and managing recovery. We unpack the most underrated tools for progress: daily reps, delayed gratification, and writing things down so you can actually execute. You'll also hear our take on practicing a little every day, from putting to supplements like creatine and protein, and why simple routines are the real advantage.If you like conversations about golf fitness, athlete habits, consistency, and building confidence through practice, you'll feel right at home here.

U.S. Open week is here, and the 2026 version goes to Shinnecock Hills, one of the toughest tests in all of championship golf. Will anyone get under par? Or will an over par score win like Brooks Koepka did in 2018 at +1? We will do a deep dive into the history of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock, the golf course and who we think will fair well this week. Bud Cauley got his first PGA Tour win this week in the Canadian Open. After a horrific car crash in 2018, Cauley has fought his way back and has finally won for the first time on the PGA Tour. Allegations of inappropriate contact by Phil Mickelson against a female staffer at The Farm Golf Club in California were reported this week. We talk about what is known so far and what Mickelson's lawyers are saying. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly golf content. Learn more about your ad choices.

We are four wide on this busy Friday with a lot of news to discuss as the week closes before the U.S. Open. Brendan is joined by KVV, Joseph, and PJ. They begin with the Golf Digest report on allegations against Phil Mickelson of nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with a female employee at his home club that led to his removal from said club. They discuss the late stage spiral of Phil, and the seriousness of this now most recent allegation, the mess he’s made of his career, what could have been, and what will never be now. Then they get into a spate of LIV news from reports on the future of its remaining four events in the Financial Times, to a report on confusion about the contracts for players like Jon Rahm, to one more about the Australian Open perhaps becoming the “death knell” of LIV’s reimagined plans. Joseph brings some provocative comments about the TPC Toronto test for the Canadian Open and the PGA Tour putting bumpers up for the highest level of pro golf. KVV has a Flashback segment on a former rules kerfuffle at a U.S. Open that had players tweeting angrily all through the evening. Then they close with a wide-ranging PJ minute on the Knicks, an all time win, and an all time rant about Carmelo’s place in franchise lore.

Welcome To Preferred Lines, a comprehensive preview podcast for the 2026 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto, powered by Read The Line. The boys discuss what to make of the on course flare ups between Scottie Scheffler and his caddie Ted Scott, as well as the breakthrough PGA Tour victory for JT Poston at the 2026 Memorial. They also run through a new TRUE or False segment, talk about creating college stars on golf, and the 2027 PGA Tour signature event setup changes that apparently are NOT happening next year. The boys then go into intense detail on the course specs and historical data from TPC Toronto, which hosted this event for the first time last season. What skillsets to highlight, modeling midwest Bentgrass greens, and which players have the proper course history to excel at TPC Toronto. Finally, a full scope breakdown of every range on the odds board, where Joe and John give their early leans and value spots in the outright market. Is now the time to bet Wyndham Clark? Is it finally time for Brooks? What is up with Aaron Rai's odds? All that and more!
