World number two Elena Rybakina survived a huge scare to battle into the Canadian Open quarter-finals on Sunday in Toronto, while fourth-ranked Coco Gauff cruised through.
Kazakhstan's Rybakina recovered from 0-3 and two breaks down in the final set to beat Liudmila Samsonova 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 before American Gauff swept aside another Russian, teenage qualifier Alina Korneeva, 6-3, 6-1 in Toronto.
Rybakina will face a quarter-final against four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, who eliminated home hero Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 6-4.
Gauff reached the last eight in Canada for the first time since 2023 and will come up against either Swiss 12th seed Belinda Bencic or Alexandra Eala, the rapidly rising 21-year-old Filipina who won her first WTA **** le last Monday in Washington.
"My main focus today was let me try and close it out," said Gauff, who has not dropped a set in Canada.

Growing up in the spotlight doesn't always guarantee lifelong success, but for a select group of former child stars, early fame became the foundation for extraordinary wealth.
From billion-dollar beauty brands to cryptocurrency empires and sports franchises, these celebrities transformed childhood careers into multimillion-dollar — and in some cases billionaire — business empires.
Here's a look at some of the richest former child stars today.
Long before she became one of the world's biggest pop stars and entrepreneurs, Selena Gomez was winning over audiences on Barney & Friends before landing her breakout Disney Channel role on Wizards of Waverly Place.
Today, much of her fortune comes from Rare Beauty, the cosmetics brand she launched in 2020. While Bloomberg previously estimated her wealth at more than $1 billion, Forbes now values her net worth at around $700 million, making her one of the richest entertainers in Hollywood. Rare Beauty remains the largest contributor to her fortune, alongside earnings from music, acting, endorsements and Only Murders in the Building.

Second seed Elena Rybakina, third seed Jessica Pegula and fourth-seeded Coco Gauff advanced to the third round of the WTA 1000 tournament in Toronto on Wednesday.
Australian Open champion Rybakina of Kazakhstan began her hardcourt run ahead of the US Open by outlasting Australian Daria Kasatkina 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 after two hours and 33 minutes.
World number two Rybakina began the match by hitting six consecutive winners and finished with 58 winners, 15 of them acers, and 58 unforced errors, 16 of them double faults.
Rybakina hit back-to-back double faults to drop the second set and three double faults while serving for the match before advancing to next face 28th-seeded American Ann Li, who eliminated Canadian wildcard Kayla Cross 7-6 (7/2), 6-3.
Pegula, who lost Monday in a rain-hit Washington final, was also extended to three sets before advancing with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Poland's Magdalena Frech in two hours and three minutes.

Elena Khoziaeva's story is basically a masterclass in staying somewhere because it's actually good. Khoziaeva, CFA, shared her journey from Belarus to a Houston master's degree, from walking into Bridgeway in 1998 as partner number six to 25-plus years later as the Co-CIO of a firm now running roughly $5 billion on the latest Behind the Ticker episode with host Brad Roth, founder and CIO of Thor Funds. What makes Bridgeway drastically different than your average shop was baked in from the very beginning of the firm. It gives away half its profits to a foundation fighting genocide, caps pay so no partner earns more than 7x the lowest-paid employee, and runs on a research culture where being wrong in a meeting isn't a career risk but half the point. Khoziaeva calls the approach systematic rather than quantitative, but it all comes down to trusting the process, being open to arguments internally to shape better strategies, and not getting defensive when the model's wrong.
Then there's BSVO, the EA Bridgeway Omni Small-Cap Value ETF, one of the more interesting products in a crowded category. It's got a real 15-year track record (born as a mutual fund in 2010, wrapped as an ETF in 2023), holds roughly 600 names instead of the usual sub-200, and deliberately goes smaller and cheaper than the Russell 2000 Value benchmark, with an average market cap under $3 billion. The value screen runs across the whole universe rather than sector-by-sector, which is why it naturally tilts toward financials and energy and away from healthcare currently, not because anyone's trying to time sectors, but because that's just where the cheapest stuff happens to sit.
The bigger picture Khoziaeva paints is a valuation gap that's stretched further than usual, with small value trading around a 14-15 P/E while large growth sits in the 30s, and the book-to-market gap versus the S&P 500 is nearly double its historical norm. Her line for advisors is memorable: "the tighter the spring, the more powerful the release"and Q1 2026 proved it, with small value up 5% while large growth dropped 10%. Her advice isn't to time it, though but to hold the allocation, stay systematic, and let the spring do what springs do.

Even with Matthews, more usually in the back row, deployed as an emergency wing, it is a punchy England backline.
Six of the seven played in the Red Roses' World Cup final win over Canada last year. Before that though, all seven played top-level sevens.
"Some of the world's best 15 players have come through sevens," says GB Sevens player Abbie Brown. "That Red Roses backline was our sevens squad at one point.

Kate Middleton has grown into one of the most popular members of the royal family. According to one royal expert, she is the monarchy's "greatest ****** et." Experts believe King Charles III and Kate now share a stronger relationship following their cancer diagnoses.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl, who serves as Vanity Fair's royal correspondent and co-hosts The Royals Uncensored, said, "I think Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has always been a very valuable ****** et to the royal family."
"She is the commoner who married into the royal family … [She has made] a seamless transition into that unique world of royalty. It's not easy … There's a huge amount of sacrifice that goes into being a member of the royal family," the expert told Fox News.
Nicholl said Catherine has made many personal sacrifices but has handled them with grace, dignity, and a smile. She added that both Charles and Queen Camilla deeply admire Catherine. Buckingham Palace announced the King's diagnosis in 2024. In December 2025, Charles shared that his treatment would be reduced in 2026.
On the other hand, the mother of three shared in September 2024 that she had finished chemotherapy and considered herself "cancer-free." She later announced in January 2025 that she was in remission. British broadcaster Helena Chard noted that King Charles, 77, has been greatly inspired by Kate's strength.

Defending champions Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner top the 2026 U.S. Open entry list for tennis' final Grand Slam of the year.
Sabalenka is the two-time champion and is hoping to become the first woman to win three consecutive U.S. Open crowns since 2012-2014, when Serena Williams won the last of her six ******* les at Flushing Meadows.
Four other former women's U.S. Open champions are in the field, with 2024 winner Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek (2022), Naomi Osaka (2018, 2020) and Emma Raducanu (2021), looking to win their first Slam of the year.
There will be eight wild cards and 16 qualifiers among the 128 main-draw entries. It is not yet known whether Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner, will compete in New York after making a return appearance at Wimbledon earlier this summer. Williams lost in Wimbledon's first round to Australian Maya Joint.
The three women who won Grand Slams this year are also in the field, led by Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, Mirra Andreeva, who won at Roland Garros, and Wimbledon winner Linda Noskova.

Alexandra Eala denied Leylah Fernandez a chance at a second consecutive ****** le at the Mubadala DC Open. An inspired performance saw the Filipino star send the defending champion packing in straight sets after fending off a comeback attempt.
Fernandez, who has now arrived in Toronto for her home tournament, opened up about how the match unfolded.
Fernandez, who has endured a rather underwhelming season, arrived at the DC Open hoping to successfully defend her ****** le. Ahead of her campaign, the Canadian star said that enjoying her time on the court played a major role in her victory 12 months ago. At last year's tournament, she staged a remarkable run, beating the likes of Jessica Pegula, Elena Rybakina, and Anna Kalinskaya en route to the ****** le.
She made a winning start this year, convincingly dismissing Magda Linette 6-1, 6-4 in the first round. The seventh seed, however, was halted in the next round by Eala. The 21-year-old produced a dominant performance in the opening set, winning 6-2.
"I mean, honestly, Alex has been playing really well. I think the biggest thing is that she's playing with a lot of confidence. She's trusting herself, trusting her shots, her patterns, and a lot of her ****** are going in. So, that's the big difference. I feel like she's progressing well. Whatever she's doing with her team is working," Fernandez said in her post-match press conference.

Zendaya continues her legendary reign of method dressing on the red carpet. Attending the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere after-party in London, the actress turned heads in a jaw-dropping custom creation. Styled by her long-time image architect Law Roach, she channeled iconic comic book history. Consequently, her striking look brought classic Marvel art to life while delivering high-fashion drama that fans around the world will never forget.
For the late-night celebration, Zendaya wore a custom-designed halter dress created by American designer LaQuan Smith. The body-hugging midi dress featured bold, horizontal black-and-white stripes that wrapped around her frame.
The dress showcased a daringly deep plunging V-neckline that extended all the way down toward her waist. At the bottom, the sleek bodycon silhouette flared out into a dramatic, vibrant red satin ruffled hem at her calves.
The unique outfit was a direct recreation of a vintage 1980s Spider-Man comic book illustration. Specifically, it brought to life a paper-doll dress designed for Mary Jane Watson nearly 40 years ago.
Interestingly, Selena Gomez previously wore a bold striped LaQuan Smith knit dress during a high-profile appearance, proving the designer's mastery of eye-catching lines. However, Zendaya's custom version takes the striped aesthetic to a cinematic level by transforming comic book art into red-carpet couture.

Because Florence Pugh is one of Marvel's biggest current stars, and her character, Yelena Belova, plays a role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it wasn't much of a surprise to see her on the red carpet for the London premiere.

The British actress has been on an exceptional run of late, so I was delighted to see that continue in this Tamara Ralph Spring 2026 Couture dress.
Remember when I used to cry tears of frustration over Florence's red-carpet choices? Tonight, they were tears of joy as she glided onto the red carpet in this silver bugle-bead fringe gown with its dramatic winged neckline. I'll admit my mind initially wandered to Harris Reed, but Tamara Ralph's execution has a lighter, more fluid elegance, less theatrical feel.
A gown embellished with silver crystal Xilions hardly called for additional jewellery, yet her Bvlgari pieces, particularly the emerald earrings and matching ring, added another layer of glamour.

Jennifer Lopez is feeling humiliated after her first husband, Ojani Noa, gave a bombshell interview about her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, a source tells In Touch.
"J. Lo is very sensitive when it comes to Diddy. His name is totally off limits and everyone in her world knows better than to bring him up," reveals the source. "So the fact Ojani is out there dredging up these old stories and shining a light on that very unfortunate part of her history is infuriating and deeply triggering."
Speaking to The US Sun, Noa, 52 — who was married to the Selena star from 1997 to 1998 — alleges that she cheated on him with Combs, 56, and that he got into a heated confrontation with the rapper at her **** istant's birthday party in 2001.
"Truth is, J. Lo's ashamed she ever dated him and this just underlines to her what terrible judgment she showed at the time," the source says of her two-year romance with Combs, who is currently serving time behind bars after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

SINGAPORE/HONG KONG, July 27 (Reuters) - Investors are expected to scrutinise whether Shein can justify the $40 billion to $50 billion valuation it is seeking in a Hong Kong initial public offering after a prospectus filed ‌on Sunday showed slowing growth and a sharp decline in profitability.
Revenue rose 8% to $41.8 billion in 2025, but net ‌income fell 39% to $2.06 billion. In the first quarter of this year, the fast fashion retailer swung to a $99 million loss, the filing showed.
While the quarterly loss partly reflected a $328 million fair-value charge on convertible redeemable preferred shares following an accounting change, slowing revenue growth and weaker core earnings underscore the company's mounting challenges.
"Institutional investors on the HKEX (Hong Kong Stock Exchange) will ... zero in on the 2.9% operating margin," said Winston Ma, executive director of the Global Public Investment Funds Forum and a former managing director at the China Investment Corporation.

A special prosecutor on Wednesday dismissed felony criminal charges against Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, who was indicted on accusations of threatening the jobs of New Orleans officials who fought a Republican-led overhaul of courts in the heavily Democratic city.
The case was put on hold almost immediately after the July 2 indictment, when the Louisiana Supreme Court said the local court and special prosecutor did not follow procedures surrounding the indictment. The dismissal by special prosecutor Laurie White came a day after New Orleans District Attorney Jason Williams, Democratic Mayor Helena Moreno and five City Council members sent a letter urging her to drop the case.
"What I did was not a crime, it was never a crime," said Murrill, a Republican. "I think this was a malicious prosecution."
At the center of the case are deepening rifts between the state's Republican leaders and Democrats who control Louisiana's most prominent city.
Orleans Parish online court records show White submitted the letters from the elected city officials and the prosecutor to a judge before dismissing each count. The case against Murrill was then ordered "closed."
