Eala seeks redemption against Shnaider

Eala seeks redemption against Shnaider

IT has been a week since Russia’s Diana Shnaider eliminated Alex Eala at the Ningbo Open in China. That loss extended Eala’s slump of missing the quarterfinal round for the fifth consecutive time. On Friday, world No. 19 Eala will have vengeance in mind when she battles No. 13 Shnaider anew in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Toray Pan Pacific Open at Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan. Eala opened her campaign in Tokyo with a dominant 6-1, 6-2 win over Mika Stojsavljevic in the round of 32 before scoring a come-from-behind win against Talia Gibson of Australia, 4-6, 6-2, 6-0, to reach the last eight. “Staying in the match and never giving up, the first set was difficult, then I had my chances, so I knew to work on every point, and I knew that if I kept my concentration, I would have more chances,” Eala said after recovering from a one-set deficit against Gibson on Wednesday night. This marks Eala’s first quarterfinal appearance since her breakthrough title run at the 2026 Washington Open in August, where she captured her maiden WTA trophy. She was eliminated early in her five previous tournaments in the WTA Tour. She exited in the round of 16 in Montreal, round of 32 in Cincinnati, round of 32 in the US Open, and round of 16 in Singapore. Following a bronze-medal finish at the Asian Games, which is not a WTA Tour-sanctioned event, Eala endured a difficult stretch, including a surprising first-round loss to China’s Shi Han, then ranked No. 217, at the Wuhan Open, where she suffered her worst loss in her career, followed by a recent round of 16 exit to Shnaider in Ningbo. Shnaider earned the right to face Eala after a hard-fought 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 victory over Aliaksandra Sasnovich on Wednesday. Incidentally, Eala and Shnaider are both left-handed netters. Only a handful of left-handers are in the recent WTA Top 100 list. Among them are No. 11 Maja Chwalińska, No. 23 Leylah Fernandez, No, 32 Sara Bejlek, No. 81 Wang Xiyu, and No. 89 Taylor Townsend. Eala has struggled against fellow left-handers this season, holding a 1-3 record against top-100 southpaws after losses to Fernandez in Stuttgart, Wang Xiyu at the Asian Games, and Shnaider in Ningbo. Her only win came against Fernandez during her Washington title run. The 22-year-old Shnaider boasts five WTA singles titles, having won in Hua Hin (2024), Bad Homburg (2024), Budapest (2024), Hong Kong (2024), and Monterrey (2025). She also claimed Olympic silver in women’s doubles at the Paris 2024 Games with Mirra Andreeva and reached the French Open semifinals in 2026, her best Grand Slam result to date. Eala, meanwhile, has one WTA title (Washington 2026) and two WTA 125 crowns (Guadalajara 2025 and Birmingham 2026).  In 2026, Eala holds a 44-24 win-loss record, compared to Shnaider’s 36-22. Shnaider has played fewer matches this season as she adopts a more selective “Top 15” schedule focused on higher-quality events and better recovery, in contrast to her high-volume 2024 campaign. Eala, still climbing the rankings, continues to compete in a mix of WTA and 125-level events to build consistency and points. The player who will advance in the semifinals will earn 195 ranking points and an assured prize money of $66,003 (approximately P4,224,192). This is Eala’s debut in the Pan Pacific Open, while Shnaider reached the semifinals in 2024 and the round of 16 in 2025.

Rain or Shine, Ginebra gun for 2-0 lead

BARANGAY Ginebra and Rain or Shine gun for a commanding 2-0 lead as the two squads square off with separate foes in the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup quarterfinal series on Friday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium. The Gin Kings clash with the San Miguel Beermen at the 5:15 p.m. curtain raiser, followed by the Elasto Painters and the FiberXers at 7:30 p.m. Ginebra took Game 1, 104-95, with import Jordan Murphy delivering 29 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks, while Scottie Thompson churned out 17 markers, 11 boards and six assists. The biggest story though was Ginebra’s defensive effort against nine-time PBA Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo, who was held down to just three points on 1-of-6 shooting. Even high-scoring import George King was held down to just 20 points, as the Gin Kings’ defense targeted the high-scoring American. The 6-10 Fajardo admitted that Ginebra’s defense no longer surprised him. “It’s really tough playing against Ginebra,” said the 36-year-old SMB star center in Filipino. “And that’s something we can’t avoid. We just need to take that as a challenge. Yes, they won (in Game 1), but we will bounce back.”  Fajardo said they can’t afford to dig a 0-2 hole for themselves with another loss on Friday. “We need to prepare well because it’s hard for us to trail, 0-2 in the series since it’s just best-of-five,” he added. As for Rain or Shine, the team hopes to ride on the momentum of its 124-120 come-from-behind win against Converge in Game 1. The Elasto Painters fell by as many as 21 points but rode on the three-point scoring of Adrian Nocum, who connected on all his four three-point attempts while Rookie Vincent Cuajao and Caelan Tiongson also chimed in during a crucial third quarter run to turn the tables against the FiberXers. “I think the most important thing is our playoff toughness,” Guiao said in Filipino.  “We had a lot of mistakes in the firs half. We gave up too many offensive rebounds, we missed free throws, we had 13 turnovers. We gave up 27 extra possessions.” Converge, however, remains capable of bouncing back with Justin Arana, Justine Baltazar, rookie Juan Gomez De Liano, Alec Stockton, and veteran Calvin Abueva in tow.  Import Cameron Clark is expected to impact the game on both sides of the floor for Converge.
