MANILA, Philippines–Alex Eala took down world No. 2 Elena Rybakina in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4, to advance to the quarterfinals of the Berlin Open early Friday (Manila time).
Eala scored her first victory over the reigning Australian Open champion and added Rybakina to her growing list of wins against top-10 players.
The last time the two met, Rybakina defeated Eala on clay at the Italian Open.
This time, Eala continued her impressive grass-court run, which included capturing the WTA 125 Birmingham Open title last week.
She opened her Berlin campaign with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Queen’s Club champion Donna Vekic before knocking off second-seeded Rybakina.
