HANGZHOU. – Alex Eala completely dominated Sarah Ibrahim Khan in her Asiad debut on Monday, whipping her Pakistani foe 6-0, 6-0 in the Asian Games at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre.
It took only 39 minutes for Eala to bring down the 32-year-old Khan, who is nearly half her age, and progress to the next round either against Kazakhstan’s Aruzhan Sagandykova or India’s Rutuja Bhosale.
“It was a great game and it was good for my confidence,’’ said Eala, ranked No. 191 in the world.

The 18-year-old Filipino tennis prodigy also asserted her might with five aces.
“I think I came in with a great attitude and a great mindset,’’ said Eala.
