Eala 7-6 (11-9), 6-2 Swiatek Eala is serving for the match but Swiatek has stepped up and is aggressive to secure the first point.
This time the Phillipines star has a wayward forehand that goes out but then Swiatek sends a ball long.
It must be difficult to ignore the fact this game could send her through to the fourth round but the pressure is not showing for Eala whose drop shot puts her level at 30-30.
But the defending champion shows her skill to get herself at break point, yet she doesn’t take it on the first time of asking and we go to deuce.
Oh my word, Swiatek sets up the volley again but she launches it long.
Eala now has match point, centre court is in raptuous applause before falling silent as Swiatek wins the next point to be back at deuce.
Back and forth we go to advantage and deuce before Eala drops to the floor after seeing out her third match point.
WOW.
Alexandra Eala knocks out defending champion Swiatek.
