MANILA, Philippines—Tennis ace Alex Eala eased into the main draw of the W25 Joue les Tour in France.
The promising Filipino posted a pair of quick qualifying victories against Anna Ozerova of Latvia and Fabienne Gettwart of Germany.
Eala handily beat Ozerova, 6-0, 6-1, on Sunday then, breezed through Gettwart to secure her spot in the main field.
The 16-year-old Eala plays home bet Jenny Lim in the opening round of the draw on Wednesday.
Eala hopes to finally go on a deep run this time after suffering a string of early exits to begin his season.
