It will be two youngsters coming up against each other in the WTA Lexus Eastbourne Open final as 20-year-old Alexandra Eala faces 19-year-old Maya Joint.

Alexandra Eala became the first player from the Philippines to reach a WTA Tour final after beating Varvara Gracheva 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 in the last four at Eastbourne on Friday. Eala survived a tense clash lasting more than two hours to make history in the Wimbledon warm-up event on the grass at Devonshire Park.
