Alex Eala bows out in the doubles competition but reaches the last eight in singles play with a come-from-behind win over Talia Gibson in the W25 Aldershot
MANILA, Philippines – Trailing and locked in a tight battle in the second set, Alex Eala leveled her game up a notch to score a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Talia Gibson of Australia on Thursday, August 17, in the second round of the ITF W25 Aldershot GB Pro Series held in Great Britain.
The 18-year-old Eala found herself down early, 3-1, as the power-serving Gibson came out determined to exact revenge. The second set was fought in close quarters and remained tied until the eighth game. Eala broke serve to finally move ahead, 5-4, then closed it out in the 10th game to set the stage for a deciding set.
Gibson pumped in six aces compared to just four by Eala, but the Australian committed seven costly double faults in the match, which took 2 hours and 49 minutes to finish.
