The 19-year-old Eala has been dubbed one of the rising stars in the sport following her historic campaign at the Miami Open last March.
That breakthrough saw Eala take down one Grand Slam champion after another beating the likes of Madison Keys and former world No. 1 Iga Swiatek to reach the semifinal round.
Eala, however, hasn’t had much success since then with a string of early exits on clay.
She suffered a round-of-16 setback despite being the tournament top seed at Oeiras Ladies Open in Portugal last month.
