Madrid, Apr 25 (UNI) Iga Swiatek avoided another shock defeat against Filipina teenager Alexandra Eala by fighting back to win their Madrid Open second-round match.
World number two Swiatek, who was stunned by Eala in Miami last month, won 4-6 6-4 6-2 on the Spanish clay.
A sticky start appeared to justify some pre-match talk that Swiatek might have issues dealing with her teenage opponent, the BBC reported.
