“Alex Eala is overrated” – Fans brutally slam Filipina after shock loss to World No. 180 at Singapore Tennis Open

Alex Eala suffered a Round of 16 exit at the Singapore Open following a three-set defeat to World No. 180 Tatiana Prozorova. Despite winning the opening set, the 21-year-old Filipina was defeated by the Russian 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. The unexpected result prompted sharp criticism from supporters on social media regarding her serving performance and consistency.

The defeat marked Eala's first loss to a player outside the top 100 since facing Claire Liu at the 2025 Guangzhou Open. In her post-match press conference, Eala acknowledged that Prozorova performed better and emphasized that she and her team would analyze the performance ahead of future matches. Prozorova advanced to face Wang Xinyu in the quarterfinals.
