The 18-year-old Eala almost scored a double bagel in a clinical dismantling of fellow teen, 19-year-old local bet Feryel Ben Hassen, 6-1, 6-0, in a match that took just 50 minutes to finish. Eala’s full array of powerful groundstrokes was on display at the hard court of the Magic Hotel Skanes. She broke Ben Hassen six times in a virtual mismatch that secured the Filipina a spot in the final round of the qualifiers, where she will go up against an old familiar foe and former doubles partner Elsa Jacquemot of France.
Eala and Jacquemot, ranked 172 in the world, faced off in September 2020 in the French Open girls singles semifinal where Jaquemot prevailed in straight sets and went on to become the French Open junior champion.
