Alex Eala beats American rival in Dubai

- By MARK REY MONTEJ O

Alex Eala showed grit in the opening set and beat American Hailey Baptiste who retired in the second set of their round-of-64 clash at the WTA 1000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships in the United Arab Emirates late Sunday night, Feb. 15.

Eala, 20, overcame a sluggish start, breaking a 2-2 deadlock before unleashing a series of superb groundstrokes on the way to a 6-4, 0-1 (ret) win over her American rival.

The highly anticipated duel ended prematurely when the 24-year-old Baptiste appeared to have suffered an abdominal injury, forcing her to exit the match.
