With four straight victories on her first tour, she made history for herself and her home country

Every year, there are people in men's and women's tennis who suddenly break out and make big breakthroughs in their careers. However, in general, such outbreaks are symptomatic. For example, Brazil's Fonseca, who won his first career tour title some time ago, won the ATP New Talent Finals last season. Not only that, but Fonseca also defeated ATP 500 king Rublev in the first round of the 2025 Australian Open.

However, in WTA1000 Miami, there is such a player, before coming to Miami, he has already suffered a wave of five consecutive defeats on the tour. And after arriving in Miami, she suddenly came out of the slump and won her first tour win of the 2025 season. What's even more shocking is that after this victory, the fighter went out of control and won back-to-back fights to make a new breakthrough in his career. So, who exactly is this player? Who did she beat in WTA1000 Miami tennis tournament? Let the humble article take you to see it today.

That player is Filipino Ella, who in 2022 won the US Open junior tournament and became the first Filipino player to win a Grand Slam junior title. Despite this, in the 2025 season, Ella's best record is only the Challenge Final Four. For a long time, her performance was not satisfactory, and she even lost repeatedly to players ranked below 200. Because of this, after arriving in Miami as a wild card player, Ella did not attract the attention of fans.

Her first-round opponent was American Volynets, who had reached the last 32 of a Grand Slam. In this match, Ella won a surprise two-set straight win over the player to claim her first tour victory of the 2025 season. Perhaps it was because of the first victory over the TOP100 in the 2025 season that gave him confidence. In the second round, Ella's opponent was former French Open champion Ostapenko of Latvia. In the first set, Ostapenko broke the belt and took a big lead. Just when many thought Ella was going to lose the first set, she fought back, scoring points in quick succession to tie the game and drag the match into a tie-break. In the tie-break, Ella won. After winning the first set, she was one step away from qualifying. After the start of the second set, Ella continued her good performance and took the lead throughout. In the face of a desperate situation, Ostapenko did not give up and kept narrowing the score gap. However, she then made a series of mistakes, and after Ella broke her opponent's unbreakable serve, she won the entire match and won back-to-back tournaments for the first time in her career.

In the third round, facing the new Australian Open champion and American Case, Ella did not have the slightest fear, and in the end, defeated her opponent completely, and won three consecutive victories on the tour. Since then, Spain's Badosa has been able to reach the quarterfinals of a WTA1000 tournament for the first time in her career, and she is just a stone's throw away from the top 100 in the world rankings. So, will she still be able to continue her magical journey? Let's wait and see.

A lot of times, the world of tennis is really just a teahouse. In this teahouse, there are many, many tea customers who have been here for a long time, and some of them have become quite famous. However, there are always fledgling tea drinkers who come here and look forward to tasting the sweet tea with their own efforts. And the author is just a small scholar in the corner of this teahouse who tells the stories of these tea customers in obscurity. I hope my article can bring some fresh information to all fans. Whether it's compliments or criticisms, maybe it's just to be able to get me far. That's it for today, and it continues tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
