Eala marches into Miami Open quarterfinals

MIAMI — Alexandra Eala was handed a place in the quarterfinals after her fourth round opponent, Spain's Paula Badosa, pulled out with a lower back injury in Miami Open on Sunday (Monday in Manila).

In the last eight Eala, the 19-year-old from the Philippines who upset Australian Open champion Madison Keys on Sunday, will face the winner of Monday's match between Ukraine's Elina Svitolina and second-seed Iga Swiatek. Top seed Alexander Zverev recovered from a slow start to power into the fourth round with a 7-5, 6-4 win against Australia's Jordan Thompson at Hard Rock Stadium on Monday.
