Alex Eala proceeds with her hot beginning at the 2022 US Open with a straight-sets clear of Slovakian Nina Vargova to arrive at the round of 16

MANILA, Philippines - Alex Eala handily took care of unranked Slovakian Nina Vargova, 6-2, 6-3, to progress to the 2022 US Open young ladies' singles competition in New York on Monday, September 5 (Tuesday, September 6, Manila time).

The 17-year-old sensation set the vibe after a tight 3-2 lead in the primary set by dominating the last three matches for the 6-2 completion.

She then, at that point, proceeded with her hot streak through the second set with a 3-0 beginning before Vargova organized a major three-game rebound to undermine Eala at 3-all.

Undeterred, the youthful Filipina sensation mobilized back with a three-game meeting of her own to finish the straight-sets voyage to the following round.

This proceeded with Eala's hot beginning in the competition following a 6-3, 6-0 pounding of Canadian Annabelle Xu in the primary round.

The 297th-positioned singles player will next confront Australian Taylah Preston in the round of 16 in the wake of making her pair's debut on Tuesday (Wednesday, September 7, Manila time) close by Russia's Mirra Andreeva.
