Recent Washington DC winner Alexandra Eala continues her assault on the Canadian Open on Friday, when she'll lock horns with Caty McNally, who may just be capable of causing an upset. After all, the US competitor did just that during the previous round, knocking out world number seven Linda Noskova, despite going into the match as the +300 underdog.
At odds of -120, Caty McNally is well worth supporting to, if nothing else, prevent her opponent from winning this match in straight sets. For starters, we've already seen Alexandra Eala drop a set at this tournament, with the Filipino doing so against a lower-ranked player too. Moreover, McNally appears to be in fine form, defeating a top-ten player during the previous round. Off the back of that excellent effort, she deserves more respect than she's currently getting from the betting market.

Our Caty McNally vs Alexandra Eala Prediction
Clearly, Alexandra Eala is a future star, and she's in decent form right now, winning the event in Washington DC last week. However, that huge effort clearly took plenty out of her, which is why she needed to dig deep into her reserves to get the better of a much lower-ranked player during the first round of this tournament.
Now is absolutely a good time for Caty McNally to be taking on the current world number 20, and given how well the American did to defeat Linda Noskova last time out it's worth betting on her to, at the very least, deny Eala the straight-set win.
Our Caty McNally vs Alexandra Eala Pick: Caty McNally +1.5 Set Handicap.
