Current Form:
Alexandra Eala looks to gain more ranking points and momentum ahead of the US Open as she competes in another loaded WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati. After winning her maiden WTA Tour title in Washington, Eala dazzled in Toronto with two fantastic three-set wins over Alycia Parks (6-1, 4-6, 6-2) and Caty McNally (6-3, 5-7, 6-4) before running out of steam against Belinda Bencic 4-6, 0-6.
Elena Gabriela Ruse arranged a second showdown with Eala after making quick work of Magda Linette, 6-0, 6-3. Ruse won 74 percent of her first serves and captured six breakpoint conversions off the back 30 return points. Ruse is 11-8 on the hard court in 2026.
The Matchup: Gabriela Ruse edged Alexandra Eala in their first meeting in the qualifying match for the 2024 US Open main draw. Ruse came from behind in that one, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.
