Alex Eala bows out of Nottingham Open

Filipina tennis prodigy Alex Eala has been eliminated from the 2025 Nottingham Open after a straight-sets defeat to Poland's Magda Linette in the Round of 32.

The sixth seed, Linette, defeated Eala with a score of 6-4, 6-3 in the second round match, which lasted for an hour and 39 minutes.

Eala had previously secured her spot in the main draw by winning two qualifying matches against Varvara Gracheva and Anca Todoni.

Her best run in a grass tournament this year was at the Ilkley Open, where she reached the quarterfinals before losing to Rebecca Marino.

Eala is participating in grass tournaments in Great Britain to prepare for the Wimbledon Championships, which begin on June 30.

Ranked World No. 77, Eala is expected to directly enter the main draw of her second professional Grand Slam tournament.
