Filipino tennis wunderkind Alex Eala begins her second juniors French Open stint on Monday at the Stade Roland Garros in France. Last year, Eala made it to the semifinals of the Roland Garros and expectations are set to have the 16-year-old match or eclipse it this time around. "I'm just gonna go and take it match by match," said Eala in a video interview by the Rafa Nadal Academy, where she is a scholar. Heading into the match, Mutavdzic, also 16 years old, carries an 88-30 career record, while Eala sports a 78-22 win-loss card. Of course, mentally I've also grown so I'm hoping to have a good result this year as well," said Eala.
