Head to Head
Up Against a Familiar Opponent in Arianne Hartono of the Netherlands
It appears that after the short stint of Alex Eala in the US Open, she will first play in the Abierto Zapopan, also known as Abierto Akron Zapopan.
Eala’s 1st Round opponent will be the No. 187 Arianne Hartono of the Netherlands.
Surprisingly, the two have fought each other in the past, 3 times already, all of which Alex came out victorious.
In 2023, the two first clashed in the W25 Roehampton in Great Britain. In this semifinal match, the 18-year-old Alex Eala survived a 3-Set thriller against Hartono to move on to the Finals.
Their second meeting happened on January 1, 2025, at the Canberra International women’s singles quarterfinals, or known as the Canberra 125 in Australia. This time, Alex successfully moved past the Round of 16 with ease as she beat Arianne in just 2-sets, 6-3 and 6-3.
And then, the last match between them occurred in W100 Bengaluru in India last January 23, 2025. Back then, the 19-year-old Eala easily won the game to move past into the 2nd Round as she yet again beat Hartono in just 2-sets, 6-2 and 6-1.
Repetition or Retaliation?
The 29-year-old from the Netherlands would like to change the course of their matchup history against the 20-year-old tennis icon from the Philippines as they face each other for the 4th time.
Their Main Draw match is set to happen on September 3, 2025, at 12 midnight (Philippine Date and Time).
