Alex Eala cracks world top 50 for new career-high ranking
Alex Eala has achieved a career-high WTA ranking of world No. 50.
The 20-year-old Filipina tennis player's climb to the top 50 follows her Round of 16 exit at the Hong Kong Open, where she lost to eventual champion Victoria Mboko.
Eala's rise through the ranks has been steady since her breakthrough in the Miami Open in March, where she became the first Filipino to reach the semifinals of a WTA 1000 event.
She made her Grand Slam main draw debut in the French Open and Wimbledon, and secured her first-ever main draw victory at the US Open.
Eala will next compete in the Southeast Asian Games in Thailand in December.
