    ALEX Eala fell short of a title on Sunday night, losing to home bet Marina Bassols-Ribera, 6-4, 7-5, in the finals of the W60 Madrid at Club Deportivo Brezo Osuna.

    The Filipina ace played catch-up from the get-go, falling behind an early break and working his way back to tie at 4-4 only to allow Bassols-Ribera, 22, to win the next two games.

    Eala blows 5-0 lead

    There was more heartbreak in the second set as the 17-year-old Eala blew an early 5-0 lead, letting the Spain bet win the next seven games and the title.

    Despite falling short of a third pro title, Eala posted her best finish in a $60,000 tournament. She won her maiden title at the W15 Manacor in 2021, and another at the W25 Chiang Rai last April.
