Alexandra Eala Advances to Wimbledon Third Round After Defeating Maya Joint
Alexandra Eala made history by becoming the first Filipino woman to reach the third round at Wimbledon after defeating Maya Joint in their 2026 second-round match. This rematch of their 2025 Eastbourne final saw Eala improve on her previous loss to Joint, who had saved four championship points then. Eala's rise to the top 30 contrasts with Joint's recent injury struggles, though Joint notably defeated Serena Williams in the first round. Eala is set to face world No. 3 Iga Swiatek next.
