Filipina tennis star Alex Eala is set to take on Clara Tauson in the first round of the US Open, scheduled for Monday past midnight (Philippine time). This match marks Eala’s return from injury, as the world No. 70 had to withdraw from her scheduled appearance at the Cincinnati Open due to a shoulder issue.
The upcoming match also represents Eala’s main draw debut at the final Grand Slam tournament of the year. Tauson, currently ranked No. 15 in the world, will be looking to improve her performance after experiencing back-to-back second-round exits at the US Open in previous years.
