Eala barges into semisMANILA, Philippines — Alex Eala finally solved the puzzle of Polish ace Magda Linette with a 6-3, 6-2 masterclass and rolled into the semifinals of the ASB Classic singles yesterday at the ASB Tennis Center in Auckland, New Zealand. Eala, currently WTA No. Eala and Jovic, however, could not make it a twin milestone later in the day after bowing to the third-seeded Chinese tandem of Xu Yifan, WTA No. 40, and Yang Zhaoxuan, WTA No. Eala trailed 0-1 in the first set but owned her old rival the rest of the way.
