Julia Riera vs Alexandra Eala prediction
Alexandra Eala stretched her winning streak to nine matches with a crushing victory over Yasmine Mansouri.
The rising Filipino star raced to a 6-0 6-2 victory over the French qualifier to demonstrate her flowing confidence on the back of her title run at the Guadalajara 125.
Julia Riera awaits next after the Argentine ended a recent losing spell with a 6-3 7-6 success over Vitalia Diatchenko.
This will be their third meeting and it is level at one apiece.
Riera won in three at the French Open last year, but Eala claimed a 6-1 6-3 triumph on the hardcourts at a W100 in Cary a couple of months later and this latest showdown will probably look more like the latter.
The third seed’s current form, improving ability and the match-up on the surface makes her a solid favourite to take her winning charge into double figures here.
