\n\t\t\t\t\tFresh from a breakthrough title in the Guadalajara Open in Mexico, Alex Eala enters the Sao Paulo Open in Brazil as the third seed\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n

MANILA, Philippines \u2013 Alex Eala looks to build on the momentum of her breakthrough title run<\/a> in the Guadalajara Open in Mexico as she plunges back to work in the Sao Paulo Open in Brazil. <\/p>\n

Eala enters the WTA 250 event as the third seed and will face French qualifier Yasmine Mansouri in the first round on Tuesday, September 9 (Wednesday, September 10, Manila time).<\/p>\n

Climbing to No. 61<\/a> in the world rankings, the 20-year-old Eala is tipped as the heavy favorite against Mansouri, who is at a distant No. 380. <\/p>\n

It will be the first meeting between Eala and 24-year-old Mansouri. <\/p>\n

Only world No. 27 Beatriz Haddad Maia of Brazil and No. 82 Solana Sierra of Argentina are seeded above Eala in the tournament that dangles $36,300 (over P2 million) to the champion.<\/p>\n

The field also includes Hungary\u2019s Panna Udvardy, who fell prey to Eala in the final of the Guadalajara Open as the Filipina captured her first WTA 125 crown.<\/p>\n

Udvardy, ranked No. 118 in the world, is seeded eighth. <\/p>\n

Eala rides on a five-match winning streak as she also beat the Netherlands\u2019 Arianne Hartono, Italy\u2019s Nicole Fossa Huergo, and the United States\u2019 Varvara Lepchenko and Kayla Day in the Guadalajara Open. \u2013 Rappler.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors.
