Alexandra Eala s'impose en trois sets pour ses débuts à Indian Wells

Alexandra Eala a remporté une victoire durement disputée lors de son premier match à l'Open BNP Paribas, battant Dayana Yastremska 7-5, 4-6, 7-5 tard dans la nuit dans le désert. La Philippienne de 20 ans est revenue d'un break de retard dans le set décisif pour se qualifier au troisième tour. Elle affrontera ensuite Coco Gauff dans une revanche du mois dernier.

Le match, qui a duré près de trois heures dans des conditions fraîches approchant minuit, a mis en lumière la résilience d'Eala. Yastremska, ancienne demi-finaliste en Grand Chelem, a pris une avance précoce dans le troisième set en breakant Eala pour mener 5-4, mais ses 15 doubles fautes se sont avérées coûteuses. Eala a breaké en retour et tenu son service pour remporter les deux jeux suivants, scellant la victoire lorsque le coup droit de Yastremska est passé long sur le quatrième point de match d'Eala.
