Iga Swiatek's Tough Victory in Madrid Open Against Alexandra Eala

Iga Swiatek escapes shock defeat against Alexandra Eala in a hard-fought Madrid Open match.

Iga Swiatek had a challenging time in the Madrid Open second-round match against Filipina teenager Alexandra Eala. The world number two, who was previously stunned by Eala in Miami, started off poorly with many unforced errors. However, she refocused and managed to break back, ultimately taking control with improved power and precision from the baseline to secure a hard-fought victory. Swiatek will now face Czech 31st seed Linda Noskova in the last 16 as she gears up for the French Open next month.
