Elina Svitolina faces Alex Eala in the Washington Open quarterfinals, seeking revenge after the Filipino youngster dumped her out of the Berlin Open earlier this year.
Second seed Elina Svitolina has booked her spot in the Washington Open quarterfinals following a comfortable straight-sets victory over Polina Kudermetova. The world No 9 remains one of the favourites at the WTA 500 event - but a familiar foe awaits.
Alex Eala, riding a wave of momentum after toppling both Qinwen Zheng and Leylah Fernandez, is next up. The Filipino star knocked Svitolina out of the Berlin Open earlier this season, making this a grudge match the Ukrainian will be desperate to win.
Eala currently sits at a career-high ranking of No 28 and is within striking distance of the top 20. A deep run through the North American hardcourt swing could push her there. Her coach Joan Bosch, based at the Rafa Nadal Academy, has been key to her progress - sharpening her timing and helping her stay composed under pressure.
