Alex Eala holds off Switzerland's Valentina Ryser in the final to capture her third professional ITF title overall, living up to her billing as the second seed in the W25 Yecla.
MANILA, Philippines – Alex Eala broke through and captured her first title of the year after sweeping Switzerland’s Valentina Ryser, 6-3, 7-5, in the final of the W25 Yecla in Murcia, Spain, on Sunday, June 4.
The Filipina added the W25 Yecla trophy to her growing collection of professional titles that includes the W15 Manacor in Spain in January 2021 and the W25 Chiang Rai in Thailand in April 2022. But Eala returned the favor, breaking Ryser – who is four years older – in the ensuing game to regain the upper hand then held serve in the 12th game to wrap up the duel in 1 hour and 30 minutes.
She edged Great Britain’s Katy Dunne and France’s Nahia Berecoechea in the first two rounds then went on to dispatch Mexico’s Victoria Rodriguez and Argentina’s Lucia Peyre in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.
