Eala is fresh off a three-set thriller with Dayana Yastremska, exhibiting poise under the pressure and the grit to deliver the big points in the crucial moments of the match. On the other hand, Gauff registered a shaky win over Rakhimova in a match that saw her commit 10 double faults and win under 50 percent of her first serves.
