Eala became the first top seeded player to win a WTA 125 event since October 2025 as she battled from a set down to beat Bartunkova 5-7, 6-3, 7-5.
It’s a second WTA 125 singles title for Eala, who also reached the final of the Lexus Eastbourne Open on grass last year.
The final proved a strong test for Eala, who overturned a break deficit early in the second set and saved three break points in the opening stages of the third.
Despite missing the chance to serve out the win at 5-4 in the decider, Eala offered the perfect response, restoring her lead once again in the following game before seeing out the victory.
Eala now heads to London for the HSBC Championships at The Queen’s Club, where she will no doubt be one to watch.
Here are the game highlights;
