Filipina tennis champion Alexandra “Alex” Eala has just won her first match to gain a spot in Round 2 of the W15 Castellon pro tourney in Spain.
The World No. 2-Ranked Tennis Junior bested her Spanish competitor on November 3, 2020 (November 4 Philippine Time) to successfully open her W15 campaign.
The 15-year-old Alex Eala defeated 24-year-old Alba Carrillo Marin, 6-1, 7-6 (2), at the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Women’s Tennis Tour that will run until November 8.
