MANILA, Philippines — Filipino tennis star Alex Eala is set to face Czech player Linda Noskova in the round of 16 at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, later today. The match, scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. Philippine time, promises an exciting showdown as Eala aims to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.
This marks Eala’s first professional meeting with Noskova, though the Filipino previously defeated the Czech player twice in junior tournaments, including the 2020 French Open girls’ quarterfinals and the 2018 Les Petits As.
