Preview<\/p>\n

Alex Eala has not made it past the first round of a Grand Slam event.<\/p>\n

But the 20-year-old Filipina can change that as she battles Denmark\u2019s Clara Tauson in her US Open main draw debut in New York on Sunday, August 24 (Monday, August 25, Manila time).<\/p>\n

Eala, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise this season that saw her climb as high as No. 56 in the world rankings, looks to make a splash in the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year following first-round exits in the French Open and Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

Getting past Tauson, though, is a tall order as the Dane has gone as far as the fourth round in Grand Slams, doing so in the French Open in 2024 and in Wimbledon this year.<\/p>\n

Ranked 15th in the world and seeded 14th in the tournament, the 22-year-old Tauson boasts of three WTA singles titles and is fresh from a semifinal appearance in the Canadian Open earlier this August.<\/p>\n

The match marks the first-ever encounter between Eala and Tauson, with the winner facing either Spain\u2019s Cristina Bucsa or the USA\u2019s Claire Liu in the second round.<\/p>\n

Start of play has been pushed back to 1:50 am as the first match at the Grandstand had just finished. (Where to watch: Alex Eala in 2025 US Open)<\/a><\/p>\n
