After going 1-1 at the United Cup, the 30-year-old was knocked out in the Australian Open Round of 32. She then travelled to Doha, where another premature exit left Paolini at 3-3 this year. Yet, the World No. 8 has extensive experience with over 430 tour-level wins. When we talk about Alexandra Eala, the 20-year-old has already captured a WTA-125 title and broken into the Top-50. The first player from the Philippines to reach a WTA Tour final in the Open Era, Eala is a Rafa Nadal Academy graduate. She beat Hailey Baptiste in the Round of 64.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alexandra Eala on Tennis in the Philippines | Jon Wertheim at the US Open\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g5R5wZKvHnI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>According to the tennis betting odds, Jasmine Paolini is the favorite to win this match with -278 odds on <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a>.

But even though the result could go either way, there is a sense that we will not have a deciding set on Tuesday. Under the warm conditions in Dubai where the rallies might be slower and longer, losing the first set could prove to be a huge morale killer for whoever gets affected. This is why the best bet is the total games being under 21.5, even if we have one set of 7-5 or 7-6.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"et\" dir=\"ltr\">JASMINE PAOLINI IS AN <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OLYMPIC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#OLYMPIC<\/a> GOLD MEDALIST (doubles with Sara Errani) &#129351; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OCgZXtHSjF\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/OCgZXtHSjF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Christian's Court (@christianscourt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/christianscourt\/status\/1820154918763729035?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 4, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Eala and Paolini are both very potent from the baseline. Despite their short height, they generate great angles on the court and have no second thoughts before going for the lines. The one aspect where the World No. 8 is superior to her counterpart is the net game. Provided Paolini can improve on her 2026 record of 63% service games won, she is adept at coming forward and taking time away from opposition.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport. And if you\u2019re a fan of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and\/or Stephen Curry - I\u2019m your guy. \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sankalphk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sankalp-hk-660254215"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sankalp\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650911"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650911"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650911\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":650926,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650911\/revisions\/650926"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
