Alexandra Eala will get another shot at a top-10 player when she battles Jasmine Paolini of Italy in the second round of the 2026 Dubai Tennis Championships on Tuesday.
Recommended Pick: Alexandra Eala +1.5 Sets & Alexandra Eala +3.5 Games (2-Leg Parlay)
Potential Payout: Bet $130, Win $230 (-130 at DraftKings)
Current Form:
Eala opened the betting lines on FanDuel as a +162 underdog to Paolini in their first-ever showdown on the tour. It’s surprising that the sportsbook has not made Eala a massive underdog against a top-10 player. Coming off a first-round exit in Qatar, the Filipina rising star owns a respectable 2-2 record against the WTA top-10.
Paolini eyes to recover from a straight-set loss to Maria Sakkari 4-6, 2-6 in Qatar. The Italian hasn’t had a promising start to her 2026 campaign after going 3-3 in her first three matches. Paolini only reached the third round of the Australian Open and won only one match at the United Cup.

Our Alexandra Eala vs Jasmine Paolini Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Jasmine Paolini grinds out a tough win over Alexandra Eala 4-6, 6-4, 6-3
Eala is a more valuable choice at +162 moneyline, but she needs a big step-up to beat Paolini even with her shaky form. It has been a while since Eala took down a top-10 player, so it’s interesting how much she has grown since her giant-slaying run in Miami last year.
Paolini has split her first six matches, but she got those three Ls from two former top-10 players (Maria Sakkari and Belinda Bencic) and a red-hot rising star (Iva Jovic). Eala certainly has a promising future on the tour, especially if she continues to become a much more effective server, but she still doesn’t have enough weapons to outlast Paolini in a gritty duel.
Regardless, Eala will get a respectable loss to Paolini by taking a set and losing by not more than four games.
