PHPhilippine tennis player Alex Eala's plans to partner with Venus Williams in doubles at the Washington Open have been scrapped. The pair had previously teamed up successfully at the Bad Homburg Open, reaching the quarterfinals, but the tournament draw revealed they would not compete together. Instead, Eala will focus on singles, facing Chinese player Zheng Qinwen in the round of 32. Their previous encounter at the 2022 Asian Games saw Zheng defeat Eala in the semifinals. While Eala has improved significantly, ranking 29th in the world, Zheng is ranked lower at 123rd. Eala recently returned from a successful Wimbledon campaign where she reached the fourth round.
