Alex Eala dropped out of qualifying in the 2025 Wuhan Open after her 5th third-set match in the last eight days.
Alex Eala saw her run at the 2025 WTA Wuhan Open end early, bowing to Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima, 4-6, 6-3, 2-6, in the first round of qualifying on Saturday, October 4.
The loss eliminated Eala from contention in Wuhan, the final WTA 1000 event of the year.
It capped a hectic week for the 20-year-old, who reached the Suzhou Open quarterfinals on Friday and has now played five three-set matches in the last eight days.
Despite showing her usual fight, Eala could not sustain her push in the decider against Uchijima, who advanced at her expense.
Eala now turns her focus to recovery and her next scheduled tournaments as she closes out a breakthrough 2025 season.
