·500·HardAlexandra Eala defeated Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-2 — Washington Open 2026 Semifinal.
Naomi Osaka and Alexandra Eala: Alexandra Eala leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
The second serve decided it. Naomi Osaka arrived the market's 59 percent favorite, but Alexandra Eala won 82 percent of the points behind her second serve to the third seed's 48 and closed the opener with a break in game 10. Osaka out-aced her 5-0 and saved 8 of 12 break points, but double-faulted five times to Eala's none and held just five of nine service games. With no prior meetings on record between them, Eala converted her third match point 76 minutes in — a week already carrying wins over Svitolina and Zheng now brings a shot at the Washington Open title.
