In a clash of two rising stars and good friends on the tour, Alex Eala just had no answer for Iva Jovic.
The Philippines' rising tennis star Eala was once again on the losing end in her second go-around in the French Open with a 4-6, 2-6 first round defeat against 17th seed Jovic on Tuesday evening (Philippine time).
The match started competitive with Eala having two break opportunities on Jovic at the very first game of the contest, immediately putting pressure on the American with her aggressive returns and ability to extend rallies on clay.
