Eala braces for Asian swing
Filipina tennis player Alex Eala is preparing for upcoming tournaments in Asia after winning the Guadalajara 125 Open title.
She expressed her excitement on social media, sharing photos of her WTA 125 trophy before starting the Asian leg of her tour.
Eala's upcoming competitions include the Jingshan Tennis Open in China (September 22-28), the Suzhou WTA 125 (September 29-October 5), and the Hong Kong Open (October 27-November 2).
The Hong Kong Open is a WTA250 level tournament.
This year has been successful for Eala, marked by reaching the semifinals of the Miami Open, her first WTA Tour final in Eastbourne, and debuting in the main draws of the French Open and the US Open.
Eala is fresh from a breakthrough in the US Open as the first Filipina winner in any Grand Slam main draw history.
Her recent success in the Americas, including seven straight wins and becoming the first Filipina WTA champion, propelled her to WTA No. 57, one rank shy of her career-best.
She achieved a career-high ranking of World No. 56 in June after a runner-up finish in the Eastbourne Open.
