Some of the other confirmed teams for the women’s doubles draw at Wimbledon this year include top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova, with other notable pairings in Jovic and Magda Linette, and Sofia Kenin and Jelena Ostapenko.

While it is not confirmed yet, it is also heavily rumoured that Serena Williams, who has recently returned to the WTA Tour, will play alongside her older sister Venus, but they will require a wildcard to do so.

Alexandra Eala’s previous Grand Slam doubles results

This will be the fourth Grand Slam where Eala has played doubles as well as singles, but she has only won one match before.

Eala has had different doubles partners for all three of her previous Grand Slam doubles appearances, having played alongside Renata Zarazua, Eva Lys and Ingrid Martins.

Zarazua is the only partner Eala has won a major doubles match alongside, having done so at Roland Garros last year.

Last year, Eala partnered Lys at Wimbledon, but they were beaten in the first round by the aforementioned Martins and Quinn Gleason.

Eala will be hoping to return to winning ways on the Grand Slam doubles court with Bartunkova, but first she will compete at the Berlin Open.

This is where Eala will play Donna Vekic in the first round, before potentially facing second seed Elena Rybakina.
