Alex Eala and Venus Williams advanced to the quarterfinals of the Bad Homburg Open doubles tournament after a straight-sets victory on Wednesday (PH Time).

The Filipino-American tandem defeated Catherine Harrison and Alexandra Osborne, 6-3, 6-4, in a composed performance that saw them control key stretches of both sets to seal the win.

Eala and Williams will next face the second-seeded pair of Tereza Mihalikova and Olivia Nicholls in the quarterfinals scheduled Thursday (PH Time).

The 21-year-old Eala, who rose to No. 30 in the latest WTA rankings, is using the grass-court event as part of her buildup to Wimbledon.

Her singles campaign in Bad Homburg ended early following a first-round exit, shifting her focus to doubles play.

Williams, 46, is also gearing up for Wimbledon, where she is set to compete in the doubles event alongside her sister Serena Williams, who recently announced her return to professional tennis.

The Bad Homburg Open serves as a key tune-up tournament ahead of the season’s third Grand Slam, with players adjusting to the grass surface in preparation for the All England Club.
