Eala on track for Alexandrova rematch or Fernandez rubber match

Filipino sensation Alex Eala is on track for a rematch against Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova or a rubber match against Canadian Leylah Fernandez at the WTA 1000 Wuhan Open in China. World No. 18 Eala needs to get past a qualifier in her opening match likely on Monday before facing either No. 28 Alexandrova or No. 26 Fernandez who is of Filipino descent. Alexandrova and Fernandez were pitted against each other as the draw revealed on Saturday. Tournament No. 13 seed Eala battled Alexandrova at the Abu Dhabi Open quarterfinals where she fell to the latter, 3-6, 3-6, last February. Meanwhile, Eala first took on Fernandez at the Stuttgart Open round of 32, where she fell to the fellow lefty, 1-6, 4-6, last April. Eala exacted revenge on Fernandez at the Mubadala DC Open, dethroning the Fil-Canadian in the round of 16, 6–2, 7–6(1), and eventually ruled the tournament for her first WTA title last August. In the doubles of this Wuhan tournament, Eala will reunite with close pal Zeynep Sönmez. The Filipino-Turkish tandem will face the Ukrainian duo of Anhelina Kalinina and Dayana Yastremska in the first round. Eala and Sönmez last teamed up at the Madrid Open last May in Spain where they made a second round finish. Meanwhile, Eala is set to slip a spot to No. 19 in the WTA rankings on Monday. The live rankings on Sunday revealed Eala's slight descent from her career-high rank No. 18. Elise Mertens leaping from No. 19 to No. 14 bumped Eala down the rankings. Eala currently has 2,276 total ranking points.

Gordon nets first Barca goal as Liga leaders beat Getafe

BARCELONA, Spain — Anthony Gordon scored his first goal for Barcelona as the Spanish champions extended their perfect start in La Liga with a 3-0 win over Getafe on Saturday. England international Gordon opened the scoring in the second minute and Gabriel Jesus added another after half an hour for the league leaders, who have won every match they have played this season. French defender Jules Kounde tucked home the third from Lamine Yamal's cross to cap Barca's solid win against Jose Bordalas's side at Camp Nou. Barca moved five points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid, who won 2-1 at Alaves earlier, and lead Real Madrid, fourth, by nine points before Los Blancos host Villarreal later on. Barca were without their top scorer Raphinha, who sustained a hamstring problem during the international break with Brazil. Flick replaced him with former Arsenal striker and Selecao compatriot Jesus and his side came roaring out of the blocks. Gordon, who has impressed since joining this summer, grabbed his first Barca goal with a low deflected effort after bundling his way past three players. The winger was Barca's brightest spark in the first half, continuing his fine goalscoring form for England in the recent Nations League matches. Barca defender Eric Garcia forced a save from Getafe goalkeeper David Soria with a drive from distance as Flick's side controlled the game. Getafe defender Zaid Romero gave the ball away in his own box for Barca's second, passing it straight to Jesus, who stroked into the bottom corner. Soria denied Olmo before Yamal teed up Kounde for the third. The defender, making a record 194th appearance for Barca for a French player, overtaking Eric Abidal, was on hand to turn home from close range from teenage star Yamal's cross. Barca, who also won their Champions League opener, have nine victories from nine matches across all competitions.

WTA is crazy, cruel for excluding Eala from finals

WTA is crazy, cruel for excluding Eala from finals

The WTA is crazy. Or very crazy. And I am taking that position because of the WTA’s decision to exclude Alex Eala from its finals this year, citing she got disqualified for competing in the 2026 Asian Games. How cruel. Or very cruel. Okay, Eala may still be out of the WTA top 10, and figured in some so-so matches. But like it or not, she is among the biggest stars in tennis today, even getting a larger audience at the gallery and social media. And her getting named to the TIME100 Next 2026 with a write up from tennis great Rafael Nadal speaks volumes of her contributions to the sport. TIME would have chosen another established or rising male or female tennis star. But it chose Eala with reasons that Nadal clearly stated. Then Maria Sharapova, who needs no introduction, interviews Eala over her podcast. Why not another WTA-ranked player? My answer: Sharapova knows who are the real stars in tennis. The demographic that Eala also brings to the sport – whether that is 90-percent Filipino or 50-percent Asian – can never be overlooked. And don’t tell me non-Filipinos and non-Asians are not among those who are cheering Eala from the gallery or over social media. Eala also knows that she is carrying the sport of women’s tennis on her shoulders, and the organizers WTA events surely love it, especially when she brings in the crowds and views. Then the WTA excludes her from this year’s finals. What? I wonder if the WTA cares about how much the organizers of the events – from the 125 to Grand Slams – have to put in in terms of money and effort. Such events need money to happen, and the organizers must ensure sponsors that the gallery will be filled and the social media views will reach high numbers. And Eala has proven that she can fill up galleries and get the views. The organizers also go to great lengths to endear Eala to the fans, such as the meet and greet event held for the Singapore Open. Then there’s the exhibition match with Iva Jovic at the US Open that was complete with theatrics never seen in the sport. I even think that the top 5 deserved more of such theatrics. But why Eala? Eala also gave us the most memorable match at this year’s Wimbledon, beating defending champion Iga Swiatek in an epic rubber matchup. Then the WTA boots her out of the WTA finals for this year? Maybe the WTA thinks that the rising young tennis stars, mostly in their teens and are upsetting top 50 players, can easily take Eala’s place. Sorry, but a young prodigy who can beat a top 50 and eventually a top 10 player cannot thrive on a “clinical” image to get the galleries filled and the views coming. If the WTA’s popularity thrives on young players who win championships, especially Grand Slams, then Mira Andreeva, Linda Noskova, or Jovic would be much more prominent than Eala now. But that is not the case, and Eala even stole the thunder from Noskova at this year’s Wimbledon, even if the Czech emerged the champion. And come to think of it – the WTA is facing a possible operating loss of $26 million this year, based on media reports. Also, the WTA’s cash pile is estimated to settle at $15 million this year. Such developments should prompt the WTA’s leadership to take advantage of the sport’s top attractions, including Eala. The US Open organizers clearly took advantage of that by featuring Eala in an exhibition match with Jovic. But let’s make an insane assumption – maybe the WTA wants Eala to reserve her energy for next year’s grind, as this year’s competition visibly resulted in a degree of burnout for her. Just imagine the effort she put in at Wimbledon, and her dream run at the Washington Open, where she faced a good number of top players. She also added to her list of top 10 players beaten Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka, and current No. 1 Elena Rybakina. Eala also beat Jesica Pegula for the Washington Open title. And as I write this column, Eala has figured in about 60 single games. That’s at least six games per month. Tough grind. I am not seeking the crucifixion of WTA officials, and I even laud their move to regulate the number of games the top 50 have to play starting next year. I even believe that the players below the top 50 and 100 be given the chance to play more games including at the qualifiers, and round of 64 and 128. The WTA organizers can consider a round of 256 pitting made up of players below the top 50. It is also high time that the WTA give the players who recently won titles the chance to rest if they wish. How many times have we seen recently-crowned champions fall in the early rounds of the next events? That happened to Eala and Leylah Fernandez. And I am sure those suggestions do not sound crazy or cruel.
