Eala Powers Into Toronto Third Round
American Caty McNally: Overnight sensation Alexandra Eala, who was fresh off her first WTA title in Washington, advanced to the third round of the Canadian Open with a 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 win over No. 25 seed Alycia Parks.
Making her debut at the Canadian Open in front of an electric packed stadium, Eala became the first Filipino player, male or female, to win a main-draw match at the tournament.
The victory was Eala's sixth in seven opening-round matches at WTA 1000 events this season, with her only defeat coming against Tereza Valentova in Doha. It also marked her 17th career WTA 1000 match win and her 11th at that level in 2025.
