How to Watch: Tennis Channel
Including her Washington title run, Alexandra Eala has now won seven matches in a row, most recently dispatching Alycia Parks and Caty McNally here in Toronto.
However, she needed three sets to get past both Americans, neither of whom is ranked inside the top 50. World No. 14 Belinda Bencic could present a much bigger challenge.
Despite Eala-mania, Bencic comes in as an ever-so-slight favorite. The 29-year-old is the higher-ranked player, and this is a surface she’s comfortable on, as shown by her 14-4 record on hard courts this season.
Bencic did get a scare in the last round, though, grinding out a tough 6-7(5), 7-6(4), 6-4 match against world No. 110 Taylor Townsend. The match went nearly three and a half hours, a rare occurrence in women’s tennis.
Additionally, the Swiss player has been just okay versus the tour’s best this year, going 7-7 versus top-20 opponents.
As for Eala, in addition to her current win streak, she’s now 13-3 since mid-June and has gone 6-2 against top-20 players over that span.
According to Tennis Abstract’s Elo ratings, Bencic has a 54.4% chance of winning the match. However, when factoring in that she will effectively be the away team in front of a pro-Eala crowd, that could tip the scales in the young Filipina’s favor.
