Natatalo si Alex Eala kay Leylah Fernandez sa unang round ng Stuttgart Open

Natalo ang Pilipinong tenista na si Alex Eala sa unang round ng 2026 Stuttgart Open sa Germany laban kay Leylah Fernandez ng Canada, 6-1, 6-4, noong April 14. Ito ang ikatlong pagkatalo niya sa first round ngayong taon. Si Fernandez, na may lahing Pilipino, ay maglalaro sa susunod na round.

Sa Stuttgart Open, natalo si world No. 45 Alex Eala kay world No. 25 Leylah Fernandez sa straight sets na 6-1, 6-4 sa loob ng 1 oras at 28 minuto. Nahuli si Eala sa second set mula 2-5 para maging 4-5, ngunit na-overcome ni Fernandez ang 0-30 deficit sa ika-10 game para manalo.

"Happy to get the win here," ani Fernandez. "There is always that lapse in concentration. I’m just glad that I stayed positive as much as possible." Si Fernandez, runner-up sa 2021 US Open at may 4-9 record bago ang tournament, ay magmumuka sa nanalo sa Italy’s Jasmine Paolini at Turkey’s Zeynep Sonmez.

Samantala, ito ang ikatlong first-round loss ni Eala sa 2026, pagkatapos ng Australian Open at Qatar Open. Kamakailan, natalo siya 6-4, 7-5 kay Jelena Ostapenko sa round of 16 ng Linz Open. Hindi pa siya nakakapanalo ng higit sa isang laro sa clay court mula 2024 French Open qualifying.

Susunod niyang lalaruin ang Madrid Open mamaya sa Abril.
