Alex Eala Fires Career-High 9 Aces in Dramatic Tokyo Open Comeback

Alexandra Eala secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Toray Pan Pacific Open after overcoming a one-set deficit against Talia Gibson. The 21-year-old Filipina utilized a career-high nine aces to fuel a comeback, ultimately winning the match 4-6, 6-2, 6-0.

Eala dominated the final two sets by winning nine consecutive games and successfully defending all four break points she faced during that span. This victory sets up a quarterfinal rematch against Diana Shnaider, who recently defeated Eala at the Ningbo Open.

Shnaider earned her place in the next round by overcoming Aliaksandra Sasnovich in three sets.
