Just watching this youngster Eala who has been at the Rafa Academy and apparently still based there, playing Keys, loved the way she is aggressive on the return of Keys 2nd serve, standing in the court to return, hasnt got a great serve, though being a lefty she can use her serve to her advantage against a right handed player especially in the deuce court.
Eala has gone off the court for MTO, said to the trainer she has a upper leg issue ( thigh)
Play as restarted with Eala with a SP, maybe the break for Keys wasnt to her advantage, foot work a bit sloppy
Eala wins the 1st set 64
Madison has got to take the ball on, not wait for the ball to come to her, got to get those feet moving
Eala has neutralized Keys serve so far today, able to get down low.with the return
Madison DFs and Eala breaks, Eala is really pressuring Keys on her serve and paying off with results in this match
Eala 4-2 2nd set
Madison No a Djoko smash at the net
Eala leads 5-2 2nd set, Madison out of sorts today, her serve is off, feet slow, her inside out fhand is about the only thing she has on her side in this match
Eala wins 64 62 well done Eala a well deserved win, Madison just out of sorts today, not taking anything away from Eala
I am certain Rafa will post a "congrats and well done to Eala" on social media, after her great win today!
