In the upcoming Singapore Open, Alex Eala is set to face Amanda Anisimova for the second time in their career. Eala will be looking to capitalize on a favorable opportunity, as Jessica Pegula's early exit from the US Open has left a significant gap in the draw. This absence has made it easier for Eala to secure a victory, increasing her chances of winning her second tour-level title.
Eala has previously faced Anisimova at the 2026 Cincinnati Open, where she emerged victorious in a closely contested match. In their first encounter, Eala won the first set and was on track to reach the fourth round before Anisimova fought back to force a deciding set, which she ultimately won 6-2.
Anisimova's 2026 season has been less successful compared to her impressive 2025, with only one semifinal appearance on the WTA 1000 and Grand Slam circuit. Her best Grand Slam performance was reaching the quarterfinals at the Australian Open, marking her career-high result in a major tournament. However, she has struggled throughout the year, suffering three straight third-round exits at the French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open.
Anisimova's overall record for 2026 stands at 22 wins and 12 losses, with no additional titles added to her tally this season.
