TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

Filipino teen is a picture of professionalism as she downs Swiatek in straight sets to reach semis

If tennis' broadcasters were hoping for emotional scenes of tears from teenager Alexandra Eala after she secured one of the biggest upsets of the WTA season they were left disappointed.

But the final point, as she broke the serve of world No 2 Iga Swiatek, for the eighth time, revealed much more about the young Filipina than any waterworks would have.

The big-hitting 19-year-old showed no signs of being intimidated playing against one of her idols, and was, instead, a picture of poise, as she dismantled Swiatek's serve early on to grab control of the match — and never looked like relinquishing it thereafter.
