Alex has a bright future ahead..and she's only 18 .Vamos Alex

Well played Alex! Resilient, strong, powerful, fearless 💪🇵🇭 come back stronger!

Im so proud of Alex Eala the level of her game exceeds my expectations and its a toe to toe with Sorana Cirstea. It’s Cirstea’s experience that made the difference but over all Alex Eala 2 thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

You are a fighter Alex. You’re getting there. Level up mate. So proud of you. ❤🫶🇵🇭💪

Wow.. superb performance Alex despite the loss..

impressive display from Eala, which makes Cirstea's result even better.

what a match! Alex played an incredible second set . she was up 3-1 in the third... i thought she would keep that lead and close the match... one thing is obvious: she can play toe to toe with the top players... keep improving... RG is approaching... win the qualifying and we are going to watch you play in the main draw.

Alex must serve aces and she'll be among the best. Congratulations. Love yah!!!

Great to see Filipina representation 🇵🇭

Great game played by Alex! Thank God, she now has power returns and great stamina! Sorana played a more heady game, and I think it is in the strategy, placement of returns, footwork, positioning, and power service where Alex and her coach can improve.

A great performance my kababayan Alex 👏👏👏

Great game Alex. 🎾👍👏💪❤️

ahmm..first, congratz to sorana, this match is very close, it could have gone either way, i thought eala will get it, the last 2 games was very crucial, if eala didn't made a lot of errors, she could have won this, never make mistakes when the score is very close like 4-4 third set, eala must practice ace, sliding, top spin, serve and volley ang "the" lethal weapon is drop shots, mixture of all court game, versatility is the key, eala is a hard-hitter, tall, good reach, she needs a good nutritionist and be careful on what she eats, she has a very bright future, just keep going, very young at 18. Job well done, eala.

Alex Eala is developing to be a great force in WTA soon. Filipino athletes reach their strength and power peak at age 22 to 25. So, there is so much hope in her. Keep going Eala.

Love Filipino player..Although she lost, but she show the good fighting spirit..this is a good experience for her to play with highest rank player since she is still very young....wish all the SEA athlete keep shinning in the world competition. Greeting from Indonesia

That is more like it Alex. Believe that you can win on bigger tournament. This is just a start for you. You will do great.

Interesting! Far beyond my expectation, well done Alex! Vamos!!

Keep improving Alex, tactics and speed, intelligent play is the name of rhe game!!!!

nice game Alex, you gave Rank 30 a difficult game for the WIN

Great match for Alex and Sorana. Alex will prevail next time they meet again.

Alex Eala may not have won but she showed she could compete against a top player.

go!go!Alex!!!❤

She fought toe to toe with sorana. Wow. I hope she goes further in future tournaments.

Proud of you Alex! 🤩 Great match!

Wow Alex ang galing mo powerfull super

Felicitări Sorana! ❤❤❤👏🌹

Well done Alex you improved a lot

Well done Alex!

What a chance, cannot sustain her service game in the 3rd and lost steam in the final stages but theres no denying that shes slowly breaking into the elite of tennis, a dream match with swiatek would have been an incredible story for phil tennis

Great match Alex!!!

Vamos Alex to get 1 set from top 30 is not a joke

Alex should practice sliding.

A truly fascinating quality battle :)

Not bad for Alex, she made her best...Maybe next tournament she will gained experience and more improvement..God bless you Alex improvement

congrats eala ur nearly there next tournament

Eala es una gran promesa del tenis.

Eala needs to improve more on her serve...Laban lang!

Great Sorana Carstea . Dificult match!

Practice more on your serve to ace like Serena.That’ll be a great way to win points and the game too

Overall she improved since her junior days. She has gotten more powerful. I like her bravery of adding dimension to her game. I think footwork needs a bit of improvement.

This is her best game so far against Top seed players. She needs to improve her resistence for long game like this.

Yun na nga ang sinabi ko. Di sya aabot ng 3rd round. Kasi hanggang power hits lang sya, walang variation ng play. Kaya naauubos lakas di maka sustain ubos na sa baseline strokes.

Alex could have won this match and faced 1GA R3. Sorana is still a good player for her age. Alex is only 18 and making her journey in the WTA. She has a bright future so long as she practice more on her groundstrokes.

Alex needs a "Freddie Roach" type of coach, to train and bring out the best in her..

You just missed it. You played incredibly well. I can see why you can’t play with anyone in the WTA. With your skill and level of play you can make players feel that you can play better with them. Good luck next time. You ae only 18 years old and still learning, maybe this year or next year you can be on the top 100 ranking.

Sayang yung oportunity

what i see is she to far from the base line when she recieved a ball. improved more on your service and more variety shots on your returned ball. okay not bad. thats the game u win u loss.

Little more of steak and iberico and your opponents frustration will be completed and the rest is yours. Keep it up and you will be a concern to every opponent in the tour

Alex needs to work on that serve. It is currently the weakest part of her game. She can’t expect to win matches against the top players if they can easily bully her service game. But we believe she can and will reach top 70 in the world in the next 2 years if she makes her service more potent. Aja aja!

Looks like she lost her energy in the third set. Anyway good performance.

@isabellasmith8377 1 second ago Strong young lady! Needs to work on her movement so she can get into position earlier. Balance, stamina, and tactical training. Her shots are predictable. What a fighter though

disappointing to see Alex not timing her split so often and her court positing be often so incorrect and hitting to many middle court rubbish balls, What is her Coach doing??? I cant even watch the full video I hate seeing players looking like they don’t know what they are doing! She could easily be 5-0 up instead she is 3-2 down. I’m sure she can only improve in this match but I’m disappointed already for her
