周二，菲律宾网球新星亚历克斯·埃拉拉在林茨公开赛32强赛中以6-4、6-3击败奥地利选手朱莉娅·格拉布赫，为她的红土赛季打响了头炮。她下一轮的对手将是前法网冠军耶莱娜·奥斯塔彭科。这位20岁、世界排名第46位的选手在历时1小时42分钟的比赛中胜出。
在奥地利举行的WTA 500赛事林茨公开赛中，亚历克斯·埃拉拉战胜了世界排名第89位的东道主选手朱莉娅·格拉布赫。首盘比赛中，两人在前9局各自保发，比分来到5-5。在第10局中，埃拉拉在挽救了一个局点后连得三分，包括一记正手制胜分，成功实现破发。
随后，埃拉拉在第二盘以4-1领先，并顶住了格拉布赫的反扑，最终在1小时42分钟内锁定胜局。
“我没想到在林茨会有这么多观众来到现场，感谢大家关注我的比赛，明天见，”埃拉拉用菲律宾语和英语混合说道。她还补充道：“我在整场比赛中保持了很好的强度。她是一位强度很高的选手，击球非常有质量，所以我对这场胜利感到非常高兴。”
去年埃拉拉参加的四站红土赛事均未闯过第二轮，她希望今年能有更出色的红土赛季表现。她曾两度对阵世界排名第23位、以4号种子身份首轮轮空的奥斯塔彭科，并保持着2胜0负的战绩。
