Lexus Eastbourne Open—Great Britain
Saturday’s women’s final at the Eastbourne Open will feature a match of next generation talent for the title.
Alexandra Eala, 20, will face Maya Joint, 19, at the prestigious Wimbledon tune-up.
Eala, who reached the semifinals of the Miami Open earlier this year, possesses an aggressive lefty baseline arsenal. Training at the Rafa Nadal Academy during the season, Eala has shown steady progress up the rankings this year.
She currently stands at No. 56 in the world.
Joint, who hails from Australia, has already claimed her first-career title, winning the crown in Rabat, Morocco during the clay court season earlier this Spring.
The pair have never played on the professional circuit.
On the men’s side, top seed Taylor Fritz will bid for his fourth-career title in Eastbourne on Saturday, facing fellow American Jenson Brooksby.
Fritz, who recently won his first title of the season in Stuttgart, Germany, always seems to thrive on grass-courts. His big serve and ground-strokes are very well suited to the speedy surface.
Brooksby, who captured his first-career title in Houston, Texas this Spring, is one of the more unorthodox players on the circuit. Having the ability to put his opponent’s in unfavourable positions on the court, Brooksby remains a player that no one wants to face.
Fritz and Brooksby have played twice on tour, with each player winning once.
