social media to reflect on reaching the last 16 at the Indian Wells Open in her debut campaign at the event.<\/p>\n<p>The world No 32\u2019s run at the WTA 1000 tournament at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden ended with a heavy 6-0, 6-2 loss to world No 14 Linda Noskova on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alex-eala\">Eala<\/a> lost serve five times and was unable to break her 21-year-old Czech opponent in a fourth round match that lasted just 55 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the difficult conclusion, there were plenty of positives for Eala to take from her first experience of Tennis Paradise.<\/p>\n<p>After receiving a bye as a seeded player, Eala overcame world No 52 Dayana Yastremska 7-5, 4-6, 7-5 in a hard-fought second round match.<\/p>\n<p>The Filipina star then recorded her fourth win against a top 10 player when world No 4 Coco Gauff was forced to retire in the pair\u2019s third round match \u2014 with Eala leading 6-2, 2-0.<\/p>\n<h2>Alex Eala
