Alexandra Eala celebrates her pass to the final.

The WTA Eastbourne 2025 can boast of having youth as its flag. Since 1981, the British town had not seen a title duel with such young contenders: the ones who made history were Alexandra Eala and Maya Joint, who continue to establish themselves as two of the greatest gems on the women's circuit. The 20-year-old Filipina resolved her semifinal match against Varvara Gracheva (7-5, 2-6, 6-3) with the composure of a veteran; meanwhile, the Australian, just 19 years old, also dominated against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (7-5, 6-3). An unexpected final that highlights the young talent that continues to emerge in the women's circuit.
