Teen tennis star Alex Eala turns back another older player to stay on track of her title bid in Spain.
MANILA, Philippines – Alex Eala made short work of Great Britain’s Eden Silva in the quarterfinal of the W60 ITF Open Amutio on Friday, July 22 at the Peña Vitoriana Tennis Club in Votoria Gasteiz, Spain.
The Filipina erected a 5-0 lead right in the opening set before Silva finally got herself in the match by holding serve in the sixth game. Eala, however, would close out the set in the seventh game and douse any hopes of a comeback by Silva. It will be a tough road to the finals of the $60,000 event for Eala as standing in her way next is third seed Jessika Ponchet of France, who is ranked 195th in the world.
