Teen wonder Alex Eala continued her rampage in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Women’s World Tennis Tour after cruising into the quarterfinals of the W15 Manacor event in Spain Thursday night.
Still in cloud nine from her three-set upset victory over second seed Mirjam Bjorklund of Sweden in the opening round, the 15-year-old Eala wasted no time in disposing of Spaniard Alba Carrillo Marin, 6-2, 6-3, in this $15,000 tournament.
The PH bet banked on her strong baseline game, needing only one hour and 23 minutes to rule her 24-year-old opponent.
Down 2-1 in the second set, Eala rose to the challenge by dominating the next three games to take the 4-2 lead.
