Iva Jovic defeats Alex Eala for the second time in about two weeks at the HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club in London. In their Wednesday, June 10 second-round match on grass, Jovic wins in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, ending Eala’s run in the tournament. The two players had also met earlier this month at the French Open, where Jovic won their first encounter roughly 15 days before the rematch. Reports describe the match as one-sided, with Eala committing more double faults, while Jovic needs about one hour and 16 minutes to secure the win. After the result, Jovic moves into the quarterfinals. Her next opponent is set to be the winner of the match between Amanda Anisimova and Laura Siegemund. Jovic is seeded sixth, while Anisimova is listed as the tournament’s second seed. The match is presented as a repeat success for Jovic over her close friend and former doubles partner Eala.
