Rybakina fights back past Gauff to reach Toronto final

Elena Rybakina lost the opening set 7-5 but turned the semifinal around completely, taking the last two sets 6-2 6-2 to beat Coco Gauff in Toronto. The serve told the story after that first hour: Rybakina landed only 57.5 percent of first serves yet won 73.9 percent of those points, and her 61.8 percent behind the second ball kept the pressure constant. Gauff, by contrast, won just 45.9 percent of her second-serve points and coughed up six double faults against Rybakina's single one. Five aces to three completed the picture, and the Kazakh moved into the final.
