Eala crushes Zarazúa in straight sets, eyes Wimbledon third round
Eighteen-year-old Filipino phenom Alex Eala dominates Renata Zarazúa 6-2 6-1 to book her spot in Wimbledon’s second round and stake her claim as the next Grand Slam breakthrough.
Eighteen-year-old Filipino star Alex Eala made her Wimbledon debut count, dismantling Mexican qualifier Renata Zarazúa 6-2 6-1 in 67 minutes to advance to the second round at the All England Club. The scoreline flattered neither the gap in class nor the pace of Eala’s performance. She broke Zarazúa twice in the first set, then reeled off four straight games midway through the second to seal the win before the clock hit 75 minutes.
