Eala overcomes Kawa, rain to advance in Suzhou Open
MANILA, Philippines — Despite a quick turnaround and rain stoppages, Alex Eala is heading to the next round of the Suzhou WTA 125 tournament in China after outlasting Poland’s Katarzyna Kawa, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5, in their rain-delayed match Tuesday.
Eala, who exited the Jingshan Tennis Open this weekend, just had a few days’ rest before heading to Suzhou.
Their match was likewise suspended twice due to rain.
But the World No. 58 tennister asserted her mastery over the 124th-ranked Kawa.
The first stoppage came in the first set, with the two players tied at 2-all.
When play resumed, the Filipina grabbed the first set, 6-3.
Kawa, though, tied things up in the second set despite another stoppage.
But in the third set, Eala took a slight separation, going up 3-1.
The 32-year-old from Poland, however, won the next three games to go up 4-3.
But Eala did not yield, winning four of the next five games to grab the victory.
Kawa banked on her receiving game, winning 51 points against Eala’s 44. The latter, however, won 51 service points to the former’s 42.
The Pole also committed 11 double faults, which basically offset her three service aces.
Eala will now take on Greet Minnen in the next round. The Belgian player, ranked 106th in the world, defeated hometown bet Han Shi earlier in the day.
The 20-year-old pride of the Philippines will try to win her second WTA 125 championship after her breakthrough title in Guadalajara earlier this month.
