In top form again for the North American hard-court season, Naomi Osaka eyes an emphatic win over Alexandra Eala in the semifinals of the 2026 Washington D.C Open.
Current Form:
Alexandra Eala is through to the semifinals of the 2026 Washington Open after pulling off another signature win over Elina Svitolina 6-3, 6-4. Fresh from dethroning the defending champion Leylah Fernandez, Eala elevated her play once again, winning 71 percent of her first serves and breaking Svitolina six times to earn her second career win over the Ukrainian. Eala improved her record to 6-2 against top-10 foes in 2026.
After a relatively easy win over Ashlyn Krueger, Naomi Osaka showed championship pedigree and composure to claw back from a set down and beat Elisabetta Cocciaretto 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Osaka is now 7-3 on hard court in 2026.
The Matchup: Osaka and Eala will play against each other for the first time on the WTA Tour. Eala is a hot underdog pick right now, but Osaka’s accomplishments on the hard court cannot be denied.
