Russian tennis player Ekaterina Alexandrova defeated world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus 2-1 in the round of 16 at the Toronto WTA 1000 tournament to reach the quarterfinals.
Alexandrova, ranked 16th in the world, defeated Sabalenka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 in a match that lasted two and a half hours.
Alexandrova levels head-to-head record against Sabalenka
With the victory, Alexandrova earned her fifth win against her Belarusian opponent. The two players' head-to-head record is now tied at 5-5.
Sabalenka has not reached a final in any of the tournaments she has played since winning the Miami Open in March. Toronto was the Belarusian player's first tournament since Wimbledon.
Sabalenka reached the fourth round at Wimbledon but was eliminated after losing to Japanese player Naomi Osaka. Despite being eliminated in Toronto, Sabalenka's record this season stands at 38 wins and 7 losses, and she failed to reach the quarterfinals in three of her last five tournaments.

Alexandrova's quarterfinal opponent will be Ukrainian Elena Svitolina, who is ranked ninth in the world. Svitolina defeated world No. 8 Amanda Anisimova of the United States 6-2, 6-4 in the round of 16.
In the day's other round-of-16 match, world No. 3 Jessica Pegula of the United States lost to Russia's Diana Shnaider 6-3, 6-3.
World No. 15 Shnaider will face world No. 4 Iga Swiatek of Poland in the quarterfinals. Swiatek advanced by winning the second and third sets 6-1, 6-2 against Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk after losing the opening set 6-3.
