Alex Eala gets a chance to add a higher level pro circuit trophy to her collection as the Filipina teen seeks to become the rare unseeded tennis player to bag a championship.
MANILA, Philippines – At just 17 years old, Alex Eala already has two International Tennis Federation pro titles under her belt after she emerged champion in a W15 tournament in Manacor, Spain in 2021 and in a W25 event in Chiang Rai, Thailand last April.
Sustaining her hot run, Eala made short work of 16th seed Katherine Sebov of Canada, 6-2, 6-1, in the semifinal on Saturday, June 18, to arrange a title showdown against 14th seed home bet Marina Bassols Ribera. Sebov, who had taken out the second and fifth seeds in the competition, proved no match to the powerful groundstrokes and steady service game of Eala, who was in the zone the entire match.
