Semis BOUND! 🎾🔥
Filipina tennis star Alex Eala continues her impressive run at the Guangzhou Tennis Open, teaming up with Ukrainian veteran Nadiia Kichenok to secure a spot in the semifinals. The dynamic duo delivered a composed and confident performance, defeating Russia’s Kamilla Rakhimova and Polina Kudermetova in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5. With crisp volleys and relentless baseline play, Eala showed poise beyond her years, proving she can hold her own against more experienced opponents.
This victory marks another milestone in Eala’s growing career, as she continues to make waves on the international tennis stage. Partnering with a seasoned doubles specialist like Kichenok has clearly boosted her tactical game and on-court chemistry. The pair’s synergy was evident throughout the match — from Eala’s powerful returns to Kichenok’s precise net work — keeping the Russian duo on the defensive for most of the contest.
With this win, Eala and Kichenok advance to the semifinals, where the level of competition will only intensify. But if their current form is any indication, the Filipino-Ukrainian tandem is more than ready to rise to the challenge. Filipino fans are rallying behind Eala as she aims to bring pride to the Philippines once again on the international tennis circuit. Vamos, Alex! 🇵ðŸ‡ðŸ”¥
