The 20-year-old tennis star made a statement right from the get-go, not dropping any game en route to a one-sided Set 1 victory.

Bronzetti had a 30-15 start in Game 7 before forcing a deuce, but Eala made sure to finish it off by going for a slow attack. With the win, world no. 74 Eala is through to the Round of 16 against either home bet Sonay Kartal of UK or third-seeded Jelena Ostapenko, whom Eala defeated during the Miami Open Round of 32. ?Eala previously had to go through a pair of games in the qualifying round, outlasting Zeynep Sonmez of Turkey and Hailey Baptiste of the United States to book a main draw ticket. —JMB, GMA Integrated News
