Alexandra Eala is into the next round of the 2025 Hong Kong Open, though not in the way she would have hoped.

The Filipina tennis star advances to the second round of the WTA 250 tournament in Hong Kong, China, after opponent Katie Boulter of Great Britain had to retire in the second set on Tuesday (28 October). Eala advances with a 6-4, 2-1 ret. scoreline.

"I'm a little [lost] for words," a subdued Eala said after her win. "I think this time of the year is a tough moment for a lot of players, physically and mentally at the end of the season, so I hope Katie can take the time to recover and look back proudly on this season."
