Alex Eala, Katie Porynets combine as a double partner in Oeiras Women’s Open

Alex Eala puts rivalry aside when she worked with Miami Open opponent Katie Katie Elynen for Oeiras Women’s Open Double in Portugal.

Alex Eala and Katie Poyn forms less than a month after they were confronted in a tense duel of the first round in the Miami Open.

On Wednesday evening (Manila period), Eala and Plyneten will debut their women’s doubles together, where they will compete in Christina Roca and Carmen Corley in the 16th round of the fourth American duo.

The surprise pairing takes place after both emerging stars had found the early success in the singles of the same tournament.

Eala and valy, sown No. 1 and no. In 2, each in their opening games drove to dominant, straight victories and built dynamics into their double campaign.

But while her singles résumés are increasingly decorated-if she runs a breathtaking semi-finals in the Miami Open, which she brought in the top 75 of the WTA for the first time-your double partnership does not remain on the WTA tour.

However, their opponents bring more double experience to court. Roca and Corley enter the game as the fourth seed of the tournament with established chemistry and a game that is based on aggressive net games and quick court reporting.

For Eala and Plyn Forte it will be to combine their strong base games and find rhythm as a duo, even though they are singles specialists.

Interestingly, the last interaction of the duo was in court as an opponent. In Miami, Eala prevailed in the round of 128 over parquor in straight sets with 6-3, 7-6 (3).

Now your common ambitions can serve you well in this new dynamic – especially since both continue your search for a breakthrough on the WTA tour.

Her double trip has preceded her singles games in the second round and offers the two young cannons the opportunity to sharpen their competitive advantage before entering a solo game again.

For Eala, this double game is also part of a wider tone tone up to prepare for its highly expected main tie-made debut in Roland-Garros next month.

While the focus remains on climbing on the singles ladder, Eala previously shown brilliant parts in doubles, especially at Junior Grand Slam event.

The collaboration with Poynen – which shares their persistence and tactical approach – could provide a spark that brings the two closer to their Maiden double title.
