How & Where To Watch Alexandra Eala vs. Belinda Bencic? Start Time, Live Streaming and TV Channels for Canadian Open
Belinda Bencic faces an interesting opponent in young Alexandra Eala at WTA Canadian Open.
Alexandra Eala is currently riding a seven-match winning streak on hard courts, and her next big challenge comes in the form of experienced star Belinda Bencic at the WTA Canadian Open.
If Eala manages to get past Bencic, she will face the winner of the Naomi Osaka vs. Leylah Fernandez clash in the quarterfinals.
Eala's match will begin after the conclusion of Osaka's contest and could take place around 9:30 PM EDT. The night session begins at 7 PM EDT on Center Court, and just as it has throughout the tournament, tickets for Eala's match are completely sold out once again.
The sold-out crowd is another indication of just how quickly Eala has captured the attention of tennis fans. In the space of a few weeks, the young Filipino has gone from an emerging prospect to one of the biggest attractions at the tournament.
Alexandra Eala vs. Belinda Bencic: What To Expect?
What makes this contest even more exciting is that Eala and Bencic will be meeting for the first time. Eala needed two tough three-set victories to reach the round of 16, while Bencic opened her campaign with a straight-sets win over Sloane Stephens before battling past Taylor Townsend in three sets.
In terms of experience, Bencic holds the clear advantage. The Swiss star has competed at the highest level for years and knows what it takes to handle pressure in the latter stages of major tournaments.

Eala, however, enters the contest with plenty of momentum. She has won seven consecutive matches on hard courts, and with the support of another packed crowd behind her, the 21-year-old will be hoping to continue her impressive run in Toronto.
