Bouzkova is currently 45th in the world and held a career-high No. 24 in 2022 when she reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals. The 26-year-old also holds career victories over recent US Open champion and world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka, third-ranked Jessica Pegula, No. 6 and 2023 US Open champion Coco Gauff, and 11th-ranked Danielle Collins.
Eala had her chances in the second set but simply could not capitalize. She gained breakpoint four times in the very first game, but Bouzkova rose to the occasion and saved all four to hold serve.
