Eala downs Linette to make Miami Open Round of 16Alexandra Eala of the Philippines returns a shot against Magda Linette of Poland during Day 5 of the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium on March 21, 2026 in Miami Gardens, Florida. Eala is headed to the fourth round of the Miami Open after dispatching Magda Linette, 6-3, 7-6(2), early Sunday morning (Manila time). The Filipina, who had a dream run in last year’s tournament, is poised for another deep run this time around. The two tennisters were kept in a 3-all deadlock in the first set, before Eala broke free with three straight games to grab the 6-3 triumph. The second set was much tougher, as the 34-year-old Linette, fought tooth and nail against the World No.
