Sibiong Tech beat Muhoba to advance to WTA Tour National Bank Open quarterfinals

Iga Sibiontech (22, Poland, world No. 1) advanced to the quarterfinals of the National Bank Open by beating Karolina Muhova (26, Czech Republic, world No. 17), who met in the final of this year's Roland Garros French Open.

Sibiong Tech beat Muhova 2-1 (6-1 4-6 6-4) in the round of 16 at the National Bank Open of the Women's Professional Tennis (WTA) Tour Masters 1000 Series in Montreal, Canada, on the 11th (Korea Standard Time).

Sibiong Tech, who reached the final of the women's singles at the French Open in June, beat Muhova 2-1 (6-25-7 6-4).

Having won the tournament for the third time, he aimed for his first top spot at Wimbledon last month. However, he failed to advance to the semifinals after losing to Elina Svitolina (28, Ukraine), who played as a wild card in the quarterfinals.

Since then, Sibiong Tech has lifted the trophy at the Polish Open in his native Poland. At the National Bank Open, he will try to win his fourth Masters 1000 tournament.

After the final match of the French Open, Muhova met Civiontech in the round of 16 at the tournament. He took the opportunity to avenge himself by winning the second set, but gave up the third set to finish the tournament.

Sibiong Tech, which reached the quarterfinals, will compete with the winners of Daniel Collins (29, USA, 48th in the world) and Leila Fernandez (21, Canada, 21st in the world) to advance to the semifinals.

Last week's City Open winner Coco Goff (19, USA, world No. 7) advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating this year's Wimbledon champion Marqueta Vondroussova (24, Czech Republic, world No. 10) 2-0 (6-3 6-0).

Jessica Pegula (29, U.S., world No. 3), known as the "daughter of the rich" of Korean descent, also defeated Jasmine Paolini (27, Italy, world No. 49) 2-0 (6-4 6-0).

Goff and Pegula will face off to advance to the semifinals. 스포츠토토
