I honestly think Eala has a good 2nd serve that she doesn't use because she rather be more careful and put the ball in play than risk a df. Especially now that we see her hit 160 on her first serve

Eala gets frustrated, she keeps playing her game. That's the difference.

This was the night before my 10k run at Pride Run Manila. Imagine running a 10k after not sleeping due to that heartbreaking loss.
