Alexandra Eala vs Amanda Anisimova — R32 — Cincinnati Open

Down a set and broken in game 2 of the third for 2-0, Amanda Anisimova was four games from the exit. That was the last game Eala won. The ninth seed broke back in game 3 and again for 3-2 and 5-2, going 3 for 3 on break points after a second set in which she won 94 percent of her first-serve points against 50 percent in the opener. Alexandra Eala, the Washington champion two weeks earlier, saved 8 of 13 break points and held only 9 of 14 service games. Two hours and 27 minutes went into a matchup with no prior meetings on record, and Anisimova's second win from a set down this month sends the No. 9 seed into the round of 16.
