@philippinestar: Filipina tennis star Alex Eala reaffirmed her dominance over world No. 10 Elina Svitolina to reach the quarterfinals of the Mubadala DC Open 2026 on Saturday, August 1, 2026 (PH time) at the William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center in Washington, DC. The 21-year-old Eala swept past the second seed from Ukraine in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, to advance to the Final Four of the tournament. Interestingly, Eala also beat Svitolina with the same score to march into the Berlin Open semis last June. Eala will next face world No.13 Naomi Osaka of Japan for a place in the final. | via Emmanuel Villaruel/ The Freeman #alexeala #tennis #sports #philippinestar
