Alex Eala secured her fourth semi-final appearance of the season by cruising past her quarterfinal assignment at the W25 Aldershot on Friday in Great Britain.
Eala crushed American Jenna DeFalco, 6-1, 6-2, in just one hour and 28 minutes at the Aldershot Tennis Centre.
Prior to the Aldershot tourney, Eala clinched her fourth ITF women’s title at the W25 Roehampton.
The 18-year-old Pinay ace will next meet 28-year-old Katy Dunne of Great Britain in the semifinals. It will be the second match on Centre Court.
Eala holds a 1-0 head-to-head against Dunne due to a first-round comeback victory in June, which began her triumphant campaign at the W25 Yecla in Spain.
Just like the Yecla tournament, the W25 Aldershot is offering $25,000 in prize money.
Eala’s singles run at Aldershot began with a 6-2, 6-4 domination of British wildcard Ranah Akua Stoiber.
This was followed by a tougher 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory versus World No. 338 Talia Gibson of Australia.
