MANILA, Philippines – Playing in extremely windy conditions against one of the hardest hitting players in the women’s tour, Alex Eala played it smart and with variety. The result was another stunning display of dominance by the Filipina tennis ace. The 25-year-old Yastremska has been on a roll on grass and has one of the most impressive records so far this season. She finished runner-up in the WTA 250 Nottingham Open the previous week and defeated Poland’s Magda Linette, who eliminated Eala in the same tournament, twice over the last two weeks.The world No. 77 from the Philippines accomplished a rarity in their quarterfinal tussle by not allowing Yastremska to hold serve the entire match.
Any hopes of another deep run by the 2024 Australian Open semifinalist from Ukraine was immediately doused with cold water by Eala, who raced to a 3-0 lead in the second set.
