He&#8217;s a very good role model, something a lot of people should idolise and try to be,&#8221; said Eala.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The biggest thing I notice in Rafa is how he fights till the end, how his thoughts are so clear. He&#8217;s so calm, but at the same time so fired up. I think I really tried to channel that energy during this whole week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At 14 years old, Eala made her junior debut at the 2019 US Open. That year, she advanced to the second round of competition in Queens. She returned in 2021 and reached the quarterfinals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Between those years, Eala won two junior Grand Slam doubles titles. The first was at the 2020 Australian Open, and the second at the 2021 French Open.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s US Open was her first junior tournament since the Orange Bowl in Florida last December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say I&#8217;m very happy with the way I handled each and every point,\u201d she said in a post-match press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a lot of moments in this tournament where I was down, I could have lost, could have lost a set, and could have gotten mad easily, but I didn&#8217;t.
