Alex Eala plays Elena Rybakina in the Berlin Open Round of 16, with the match scheduled for no earlier than 11:30 p.m. (Manila time) on Thursday. The Berlin meeting follows a busy stretch on the WTA tour that includes both singles and doubles outcomes in several tournaments. At the 2026 Italian Open, Eala began with a win over Poland’s Magdalena Frech, 6-0, 3-6, 6-4, after recovering from a 1–3 deficit in the deciding set. That result lifts her ranking four spots to No. 38, and sets up a next match against China’s Wang Xinyu, who received a bye into the second round. Eala then ends her Italian Open singles run after losing to Rybakina, 6-4, 6-3, in the third round, and is also eliminated in doubles after losses to Taylor Townsend and Kateřina Siniaková. Her run continues with a first-round loss at the Bad Homburg Open, falling 6-3, 6-3 to Elise Mertens, and another early exit at Strasbourg, losing 6-3, 5-7, 3-6 to Oleksandra Oliynykova.
