Talia Gibson has moved through at the Hong Kong Open, a few days after Tennis Australia named her as the leader of the Australian push in the closing weeks of the season. That comes after a tough loss in Tokyo, where she took the first set off Alexandr Eala before he took over.
Gibson won her way into the next round in Hong Kong, alongside Eala and Sorana Cirstea.
Tennis Australia sees her as the player carrying the Australian hopes as the season winds down.
In the Pan Pacific Open round of 16 she lost 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 to Eala after winning the opening set.
