Thirteen-year-old Alex Eala took a quick break from her tennis scholarship in Rafael Nadal’s school hoping to add another feather to her cap.

She took a step closer to that goal Wednesday.

Eala crushed Hsuan Huang of Chinese Taipei, 6-0, 6-1, to get through the second round of the girls singles of the Phinma-PSC International Juniors Tennis Championships Week 1 at Manila Polo Club in Makati.

Eala trains full time at the prestigious Rafael Nadal Academy in Mallorca, Spain.

“She just came back for this tournament and with her age, she’s only allowed 10 tournaments per year, so this will be her eighth and ninth [tournament],” said father Mike Eala.
