Amanda Anisimova beats Emma Navarro to reach title match in Toronto

TORONTO -- Amanda Anisimova beat eighth-seeded Emma Navarro 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 on Sunday in an all-American semifinal in the windy National Bank Open.

Third-seeded defending champion Jessica Pegula , also of the United States, faced No. 14 Diana Shnaider of Russia in the second semifinal for the other spot Monday in the title match.

On Saturday, the 22-year-old Anisimova beat second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 6-2 in the quarterfinals for her first victory over a top-10 player in nearly two years.

Anisimova took a mental-health break from tennis last year. She has two WTA Tour titles - in 2019 in Bogota and 2022 in Melbourne.

Play at York University was delayed by a rain for a little over an hour just before Navarro and Anisimova were scheduled start.
