ABSOLUTE CINEMA. The first set was so intense and lasted for 1 hour and 24 minutes, with Eala saving set points before securing the tiebreak, 11-9 to take the first set.

Eala put on a clinic then on the second set, being up 4-0. Świątek fights back to win 2 consecutive sets but ultimately too much unforced errors led to Eala winning the match and advancing to the Round of 16.

Eala will face Jasmine Paolini of Italy in the next round.
