Alexandra Eala Dominates Yastremska to Secure Spot in Eastbourne Semis
Filipino Rising Star Eala Shines, Eyes First WTA Title
In a stunning display of tennis, Alexandra Eala bested Dayana Yastremska with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 win to reach the semifinals of the Lexus Eastbourne Open. This marks Eala's second WTA semifinal appearance this season, following a notable performance at the Miami Open that included a victory over top-ranked Iga Swiatek. The 20-year-old left-hander is now poised to compete for her maiden tour-level title. Her next challenge is a semifinal match against Varvara Gracheva, who advanced after Barbora Krejcikova withdrew due to injury. Meanwhile, Australian talent Maya Joint progresses to the semifinal, looking to add a grass-court title to her recent clay victory in Rabat.
