Tennis: Eala, Volynets fall short in doubles in Oeiras Ladies Open
Filipino tennis player Alex Eala and her partner Katie Volynets were eliminated in the Round of 16 of the Oeiras Ladies Open women's doubles.
The unseeded Eala and Volynets lost to the No. 4 seeds, American pair Carmen Corley and Christina Rosca, with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
The match lasted for one hour and 13 minutes.
The loss was attributed to the superior performance of the American pair, who won more service and receiving points.
Eala, ranked 455th in doubles, and Volynets, ranked 491st, were outmatched by the higher-ranked Rosca (180th) and Corley (112th).
This early exit prevents 19-year-old Eala from potentially winning two titles in the competition.
Eala will now focus on her singles campaign and is set to face Panna Udvardy of Hungary in the Last 16.
