MADRID (AP) — This time, Iga Swiatek had the answers against teenage sensation Alexandra Eala.
After a quarterfinal loss to the rising star from the Philippines last month in Miami, Swiatek rallied to a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory in the second round of the Madrid Open on Thursday.
The second-ranked Swiatek, who is the defending Madrid champion, is trying to reach her first final of the season.
