Alex Eala and American partner Hailey Baptiste bowed out of the women’s doubles competition at the Italian Open after suffering a 6-2, 6-1 loss to fourth-seeded tandem Taylor Townsend of the United States and Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic in the Round of 32 in Rome on Tuesday night in Rome.
The Eala-Baptiste pair struggled to match the consistency and firepower of Townsend and Siniakova, who dominated the match from the baseline and converted five of their 11 break-point opportunities. Eala and Baptiste managed just 35 total points and failed to capitalize on any of their four break chances throughout the straight-set defeat.
Townsend and Siniakova also held the edge in first-serve efficiency, winning 59 percent of points on their first serve compared to only 33 percent for Eala and Baptiste.
Despite firing three aces and avoiding double faults, Eala and Baptiste were unable to gain momentum as their opponents controlled the pace of the match from start to finish.
The loss ended Eala’s campaign in the prestigious tournament after earlier bowing out in the women’s singles event. (AC)
