Heavy rainfall postpones Eala's Oeiras Ladies Cup campaign

Alex Eala's round of 32 match against Anouk Koevermans of The Netherlands in the Oeiras Ladies Open in Portugal was postponed due to heavy rainfall.

The 19-year-old Eala already clinched the first set, 6-3, with Koevermans leading in the second set, 2-3 when it rained at the Centro Desportivo Nacional do Jamor.

After the rain cleared, both netters continued playing with the Dutch tennis player leading 4-2.

But it rained for second time, causing the tennis court to be flooded and the match postponed for a later date.

Eala entered the Oeiras Ladies Open as the No. 1 seed.
