Stojsavljevic Granted Tokyo Open Wildcard, Drawn Against Eala in First Round

Mika Stojsavljevic has received a wildcard into the Tokyo Open, positioning the 17-year-old British prospect for another opportunity at the WTA Tour event. The wildcard marks her second appearance at the Pan Pacific Open, following her participation in the previous year’s tournament.

Eala Awaits in Opening Match

The draw has paired Stojsavljevic with Alex Eala, the rising Filipina star, in what shapes up as a challenging first-round encounter. This matchup presents the young Briton with a significant test as she aims to advance beyond the opening round.

Building on Previous Experience

Stojsavljevic’s return to Tokyo comes after a first-round exit in 2024, when she fell in her debut appearance at the event. The wildcard selection offers the British teenager another chance to make an impression on the WTA circuit and secure her first main-draw victory at the Tokyo Open. Facing a player of Eala’s calibre will demand a strong performance if Stojsavljevic is to reach the second round and move past her previous result at the venue.
