00:00Filipino tennis star Alex Ayala starts her Hong Kong Open bid on a high after defeating
00:05Australia's Emerson Jones 6-4, 6-3 on Tuesday, November 3. Ayala also rose to world No. 17
00:12just a few months after her previous career-high ranking of No. 18 in August. She was originally
00:18supposed to go head-to-head with America's Alicia Parks, but Parks was forced to withdraw
00:22from the competition at the last minute due to a shoulder injury. Ayala will face Czechia's
00:27Teresa Valentova on Thursday, November 5 in the round of 16.
