Liu Ends Semifinal Losing Streak to Reach Second Career Final
Claire Liu secured her place in the final after defeating Alexandra Shubladze in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4. She lost her serve three times and broke her opponent four times during the match.
With this victory, Liu snapped her three-match losing streak in tour-level semifinals and reached her second career final at this level. She previously reached the final in Rabat in 2022 but lost in straight sets.
The American started the season outside the top 200 and struggled to produce consistent results. However, her third-round run at Wimbledon, quarterfinal appearance in Guangzhou and WTA 125 title in Barranquilla have helped revive her campaign. Her latest result in Hong Kong has now confirmed her return to the top 80 next week.
Liu heads into the final with a 1-20 career record against top-20 opponents. Her only victory came against Ons Jabeur in Monastir in 2022.

Eala Reaches Hong Kong Final to Confirm Top-15 Breakthrough
Alexandra Eala reached the final after defeating experienced opponent Maria Sakkari in three sets, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4. Despite losing her serve four times, the Filipina came through the important moments to secure the victory.
Eala began the Asian swing without having previously registered multiple wins at a tour-level event in the region. However, she has steadily improved her results this season. After early exits in Singapore and Wuhan, she reached the second round in Ningbo, the quarterfinals in Tokyo and has now advanced to the final in Hong Kong.
The Filipina's rise this season has been remarkable, with strong results at several high-profile events and her maiden tour-level title in Washington helping her break into the top 20 a few months ago. Her latest run will see her climb as high as No. 15 in the rankings.
Eala has a 1-1 career record in tour-level finals. She lost to Maya Joint in Eastbourne last year before claiming the title in Washington a few months ago. She will now look to add another trophy to her collection in Hong Kong.
