Teenager Eala Stuns Swiatek To Reach Miami Semifinals
Teenager Eala: Teenage wild card Alexandra Eala staged a huge upset in her history-making breakout run at the Miami Open, dispatching No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek 6-2, 7-5 to make the first WTA semifinal of her career.
Eala, 19, is the first player from the Philippines to reach a tour-level semifinal and is now guaranteed to become the first Filipina to be ranked inside the Top 100 of the WTA Rankings next Monday.
"I'm in complete disbelief right now, I'm on cloud nine. It's so surreal. I feel like I'm the exact same person as I was in that photo. But of course, circumstances have changed! I'm so happy and so blessed to be able to compete with such a player on this stage... My coach told me to run, to go for every ball, to take all the opportunities I can, because a five-time Slam champion is not going to give you the win," Eala said in her on-court interview.
