Alex Eala wasted no time making a statement in Mexico. The 20-year-old Filipina star kicked off her Guadalajara 125 Open run with a dominant 6-2, 6-2 victory over the Netherlands’ Arianne Hartono early Wednesday (Philippine time).
Currently ranked No. 75 in the WTA rankings and seeded second in the tournament, Eala was in full control from start to finish. Her precision and aggressive baseline play allowed her to dictate the tempo, leaving Hartono, ranked No. 187, struggling to find answers.
The win also extended Eala’s flawless record against Hartono to 4-0, reaffirming her confidence after a disappointing second-round exit at the US Open last week. This bounce-back performance underscores her determination to stay on track in the WTA circuit.
With this result, Eala advances to the round of 16, where she will face American veteran Varvara Lepchenko, currently ranked No. 122. A strong showing in Guadalajara could boost Eala’s momentum as she eyes another deep run on tour.
