Julia Grabher vs Alexandra Eala prediction

Alexandra Eala enjoyed a brief spell inside the top 30 prior to Miami.

The Filipina star reached the round of 16 but is now down to 45 and looking for a strong spell on clay to push right back up the WTA ladder.

First up in Linz, it's home hope Julia Grabher, who has lost six of her last seven across all tiers.

The world number 87 will be featuring on her favoured surface, but has only managed three tour-level wins since 2023 and we expect Eala to be too strong despite the Austrian’s hopes of making an impression on home turf.
