Alex Eala’s Next Opponent Revealed After Breakthrough Win Over Tereza Valentova

Alex Eala finally found a way past Tereza Valentova. Now, the Filipina tennis star has another opportunity to extend her remarkable season. Eala advanced to the quarterfinals of the Hong Kong Open on Thursday after defeating Valentova, 6-4, 7-6 (9-7), in a gripping second-round match at Victoria Park. The victory ended a two-match losing streak against the Czech teenager and sent Eala into the last eight of the WTA 250 tournament.
