Alex Eala suffers cramps, bows out of Miami Open qualifying

MANILA, Philippines—Alex Eala came close to entering the main draw of the 2024 Miami Open before faltering in the second round of the qualifiers against Colombia’s Emiliana Arango on Tuesday (Manila time).

After dominating the first set, Eala appeared well on her way to advancing after taking a 5-3 lead.

But she lost steam after suffering from cramps, allowing Arango to recover and claim a comeback win.
