Eala loses steam vs Japanese foe in Wuhan Open qualifiers
Filipina tennis player Alex Eala was eliminated from the 2025 Wuhan Open qualifiers after a three-set loss to Japan's Moyuka Uchijima, with a final score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
This loss marked Eala's fifth consecutive three-set match in a span of seven days, indicating potential fatigue from her recent schedule after competing in the Jingshan Open and Suzhou Open.
Eala took a medical timeout in the third set against Uchijima, where she fell behind 0-3 and was unable to recover.
Despite the defeat, Eala showed resilience and fighting spirit throughout her matches on the Asian tour.
Eala is scheduled to compete next in the Japan Open in Osaka from October 13 to 19, followed by the Guangzhou Open and Hong Kong Open.
The 20-year-old Eala is expected to fall a few places from her current world No. 58 ranking.
