Alexandra Eala Eliminated by Belinda Bencic at National Bank Open

Alexandra Eala's participation in the National Bank Open concluded on Sunday night in Toronto, where she faced Belinda Bencic from Switzerland in the Round of 16.

Eala lost the match with a score of 6-4, 6-0, marking the end of her impressive seven-match winning streak, which included her recent title at the DC Open, making her the first player from the Philippines to win a tour-level event.

Bencic, the 12th seed in the tournament, displayed a strong performance with only six unforced errors, the lowest for her in a WTA-1000 singles match this season. Following this victory, Bencic is set to compete against world No. 4 Coco Gauff in the quarterfinals. Eala received a standing ovation from the crowd, which was largely composed of her supporters, and expressed her gratitude for the experience in Toronto.
