Umatras si Alex Eala kay Grabher, susukong si Ostapenko sa Linz Open

Natalong ng bituin na tenista ng Pilipinas na si Alex Eala si Julia Grabher ng Austria, 6-4, 6-3, sa ika-32 ng round ng Linz Open nitong Martes, na nagpapakita ng magandang simula sa kanyang clay court swing. Aabutin niya ang dating French Open champion na si Jelena Ostapenko sa susunod na laban. Ang 20-anyos na si Eala ay naging ika-46 sa world ranking.

Sa Linz Open, isang WTA 500 tournament sa Austria, nagpakita ng galing si Alex Eala laban sa home favorite na si Julia Grabher, na ika-89 sa world ranking. Sa unang set, nagtie sila sa 5-5 pagkatapos ng siyam na laro, ngunit nakabreak si Eala sa ika-10 na game matapos maipanalo ang mahalagang puntos kabilang ang isang superb forehand winner.

Sa ikalawang set, nauna agad si Eala 4-1 at hindi na binigyan ng pagkakataon ang kalaban na makabawi, na nagtapos sa 1 oras at 42 minuto ang laban.

"I did not expect that there would be many of you here in Linz, but thank you for following my matches and see you tomorrow," ani Eala sa halo-halong Filipino at English. Dagdag niya, "I kept the intensity well throughout the match. She’s a very intense player and has really good shots so I’m really happy with the win."

Layunin ni Eala na mapabuti ang kanyang performance sa clay courts ngayong taon matapos hindi makadaan sa second round sa apat na clay tournaments noong nakaraang taon. May 2-0 record siya laban kay Ostapenko, na No. 4 seed at world No. 23, na nakatanggap ng bye sa first round.
