(PH) Alex Eala vs Panna Udvardy (HUN)
The Filipina tennis star will square off against Hungary’s Panna Udvardy in the Guadalajara 125 Open final early Sunday(PH time) in Mexico, with history on the line for both players.
Previous match:
Back in April this year, the two had an encounter during the Oeiras Ladies Open in Portugal where Udvardy eked out a 7(4)-6, 6-4 win against the FIlipina ace in the Round of 16.
History in the making:
They now reunite at the hard court with both players chasing their respective breakthrough WTA singles title.
She made history with that win, after losing the first set, she came back strong in the 2nd and 3rd. Now she’s got her first WTA title, and with that victory her ranking has already improved.
Anisimova! That was such a disappointing performance from her thanks to so many unforced errors and double faults when compared to Sabalenka who remained calm and composed despite most of the crowd supporting her opponent.
Another big difference was the serves where Sabalenka overtook Anisimova in a big, big way. Cannot imagine what she would feel after losing in 2 back to back finals without claiming a single set. Smh!
I wasn’t able to watch the game, but I bet on the underdog. Shame he lost in 2 sets - the 2nd one was almost a win, but he just couldn’t get past the number 1 ranked player.
Anyway, time to bounce back with a win. Hopefully we make the right prediction on the men’s final tonight. Alcaraz here.
