Overview

• Zarazúa defeated world No. 43 Katie Boulter 6-1, 7-5 in Montreal on July 28 to break a six-match first-round losing streak at WTA 1000 events that dated back to Guadalajara 2023.
• It marked her second career win at the WTA 1000 level after Miami 2021 and came at a tournament tier directly below the Grand Slams.
• The straight-sets victory earned her 35 WTA ranking points and at least $19,705 in prize money, with projections suggesting a move from No. 68 to around No. 64 in the standings.
• Zarazúa’s breakthrough highlights a rare high-level win for Mexican women’s tennis and follows her earlier second-round runs at the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year.
• She will face 22nd seed and 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in the second round on July 30 for a first-time head-to-head matchup.
