MANILA, Philippines, August 22 ------ There would be no third set comeback this time around for Alex Eala. Her quest for back-to-back ITF titles was halted by Destanee Alava of Australia, who prevailed over the Filipina in the finals of the ITF W25 Aldershot GB Pro Series, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.
The third seeded Eala was gunning not only for her second straight title but also for revenge against the sixth seeded Alava. The two faced each other in the opening round of the ITF W25+H Tauste-Zaragoza tournament last June with Alava winning easily, 6-1, 6-2.
Eala seemed on her way to exact vengeance after a convincing first set triumph over Alava where the 2022 US Open girls champion did not face any break point.
