Alex Eala shrugs off injury scare to win historic opener at Philippine Women’s Open

Описание: Breaking:
Alex Eala gave the Filipino crowd exactly what it came for, delivering a statement win in her long-awaited professional debut on home soil at the Philippine Women’s Open on Monday, January 26.
The second seed overwhelmed Russia’s Alina Charaeva in straight sets, showcasing control, poise, and resilience in front of a sold-out Rizal Memorial Tennis Center.
Eala dictated play from the opening point, striking deep from both wings and forcing her opponent into rushed decisions. The opening set slipped away from Charaeva in just 24 minutes as the Filipina seized full momentum early.
The mood shifted briefly in the second set when Eala requested a medical timeout while trailing 2-1. The pause sent a ripple of concern through the partisan crowd packed into the 2,000-seat venue.

Bandaged but unbothered, Eala returned with renewed intensity. She reeled off six consecutive games, breaking Charaeva repeatedly with relentless baseline pressure and pinpoint shot placement.
The match ended after one hour and 16 minutes when Charaeva sent a forehand long following a barrage of unanswered attacks. The victory marked a symbolic moment for Philippine tennis as Eala won her first professional singles match in the country.
