Alex Eala after beating Elena Rybakina in Berlin
Petkovic: โWho did you call on the phone right now?โ
Alex: โI called my dad. I donโt know. I said โOh my God.โ We were just screaming. ๐ My mom was there too. Iโm really happy. Iโm a little foggy right now. I think Iโm still shaking. I was shaking on match point. Iโm really happy with today. It couldโve gone either way. There were really tight moments in both sets. Of course sheโs an amazing player. Sheโs the one to beat. Iโm happy to have been able to share the court with her again.โ โค๏ธ
Alex Eala had kind words for Elina Svitolina after beating her in Berlin:
"Elina is a huge fighter and I've seen it many times. I've been watching her since I was a kid so to be able to compete with her today is such an honor. I really admire her. She's a mother and I find her to act with such elegance and strength. I'm really lucky to have had this match today." โค
