Expect another massive crowd as Filipina tennis star Alex Eala clashes with fellow giant-slayer Caty McNally of the United States in the third round of the WTA 1000 National Bank Open.
The match is set at 8:10 a.m. today (Saturday, August 8 Philippine time) at the Sobeys Stadium in Toronto, Canada.
Eala, fresh from making history as the first Filipina to win a WTA title at the Mubadala DC Open last week, ousted American Alycia Parks 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 to punch a ticket to the Round of 32.
The 21-year-old Eala, ranked No.20 in the world, received a first-round bye as the 25th seed in the tournament.
On the other hand, the world No.70 McNally advanced after knocking out reigning Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova 7-6 (7/5), 6-1
