Alex Eala got booted out right in the opening round of the ITF Rafael Nadal Academy World Tennis Tour on Wednesday, March 10 in Manacor, Spain.
Event No. 3 seed Simona Waltert of Switzerland, whom the Filipina teen tennis sensation ousted in the last $25,000 tournament, defeated Eala, 6-4, 2-6, 7-5.
Eala was on her way to complete a come-from-behind win as she went up 4-2 in the deciding set. But Waltert broke serve and held on to tie the score at 4-4.
The 15-year-old Filipina was a game away from taking the match at 5-4, but Waltert broke serve again to extend the set.
The Swiss player then went on to close the match with back-to-back games.
The Filipina tennis ace kicked off the year with a maiden pro title in the ITF Rafael Nadal Academy (RNA) World Tennis Tour in Manacor, Spain.
In 2020, Eala kicked off the season with her maiden Grand Slam title in Melbourne, before the rising tennis star followed it up with another feat by becoming the Philippines’ first junior Grand Slam semifinalist in 35 years in the Roland Garros girls singles tournament. – Rappler.com
