After a sluggish opening set that saw her fall behind early at 1-3, which she could not recover from, Eala jumped to a 2-0 advantage in the second set to show her Ukrainian foe she would not go away easily. Eala managed to steel her nerves and snatch the next three games to end the match after two hours and twenty minutes.
She reached the 4th round of both the French Open and Wimbledon in 2023 and the third round of this year’s Australian Open. Tsurenko achieved a career-high world ranking of 23 in 2019. The massive bounce-back result earned Eala a second-round encounter against another tough veteran, Romania’s Sorana Cirstea who is ranked 27th in the tournament.
