Alexandra Eala vs Talia Gibson prediction

Talia Gibson will hope it’s a case of third time lucky against Alexandra Eala.

The Aussie trails 2-0 in the head-to-head with both defeats coming on hardcourts back in 2023. 

However, the world number 38 earned the Aussie bragging rights with a convincing 6-0 7-5 win over Daria Kasatkina and will pose a greater threat to Eala than Brit Mika Stojsavljevic, who managed just three games in the first round.

The Filipina will be seen as a big favourite with the spotlight firmly on her and we expect her to win, but Gibson may well provide a scare.
