MANILA, Philippines: Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala and French partner Estelle Cascino continue to roll in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Open 3C Seine-et-Marne in the town of Croissy-Beaubourg in France, as they head to the women’s doubles finals.
In Friday’s doubles semifinals, they defeated the Russian-Luxembourgish pair of Kira Pavlova and Marie Weckerie in two sets, 6-3, 6-3, to punch their finals ticket.
It is a major bounce back for the world number 171, after exiting the women’s singles at the Round of 16 on Wednesday.
