The world No. 153 Filipina suffered her fourth straight defeat at the hands of the world No. 99 German, 7-5, 6-2, in the round of 16 of the 2024 WTA Guadalajara 125 Open on Wednesday, September 4 . Eala fought back, winning the next two games to level the score at 5-5. But that would be the farthest Maria would allow Eala to get to.
This was the most that Eala had scored in a set against Maria. In their previous encounters, Maria prevailed, 6-2, 6-2, in the WTA Thailand Open; came out dominant again in the WTA Madrid Open in Spain, 6-1, 6-1; and kept her mastery over the Filipina in the WTA 250 Guangzhou Open in China, 6-3, 6-0.
