Eala faces Swiss for Suzhou Open semis berth
Filipina tennis player Alex Eala will face Viktorija Golubic of Switzerland in the quarterfinals of the Suzhou Open WTA 125 on Friday.
Golubic, 32, is currently ranked World No. 46 and has achieved a career-high ranking of No. 35 in 2022.
Eala, seeded fourth, is ranked No. 58 and is aiming for her second consecutive semifinal in China.
Eala secured her spot in the quarterfinals after a grueling three-hour and 18-minute three-set match against Greet Minnen, a match that was one of the longest in her career.
Golubic, the No. 6 seed, had two straight-set victories to reach the quarterfinals.
