Alex Eala’s run at the 2026 Berlin Open ends in the semifinals as she loses to Linda Noskova. The match, played at Steffi Graf Stadium, is rain-delayed and scheduled for Saturday evening (8 p.m. Manila time), with the semifinal taking place early Sunday by local reporting. Noskova, ranked world No. 13, defeats Eala in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4.
Eala entered the tournament as a wildcard in the WTA 500 event. In the first set, Noskova controls the pace and takes it 6-2. Eala responds in the second set, winning three straight games to move ahead 4-3 and creating momentum. Noskova then regains control, using her strong returning to close out the match 6-4.
The sources also note that Eala previously played Noskova at Indian Wells in March, where Eala suffered a 6-2, 6-0 loss. Heading into the semifinal, Eala says Noskova is a powerful, experienced big hitter, reflecting the challenge Noskova brings as she advances to the final.
