Eala pulled off an almighty upset in her win over Tauson, who currently sits an impressive 16th in the WTA rankings. Compared to Eala, who is yet to claim a tournament victory, Tauson has three titles to her name -- with the most recent coming at the Auckland Open back in January.

Eala, 20, became the first Filipino player in the Open Era to win a singles match in a Grand Slam main draw. She beat No. 14 seed Clara Tauson in three sets, 6–3, 2–6, 7–6 (13–11). At one point in the last set, Eala trailed 1–5.

The 20-year-old Filipino became the first player from her country to win a main-draw Grand Slam match in over 60 years.
