Alex Eala Draws Opening Round Bye In Asiad Tennis
In the women’s singles event at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, Alex Eala has received a first-round bye.
Her seeding as the fourth seed is a result of her strong performance in prestigious tournaments throughout the year.
She is set to kick off her quest for a medal on Monday and will later partner with Ruben Gonzales in the mixed doubles event on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Gonzales and doubles partner Francis Alcantara are looking for an encouraging start to their title bid when they clash against the Thais on Sunday.
Aside from Eala, among the top contenders for gold in the women’s singles is Chinese No. 1 Zheng Qinwen, who recently stunned Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open.
Also tipped to do well is Indian Ankita Raina, the bronze medal winner of the 2018 edition held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
