Filipina tennis player Alex Eala has achieved a new career-high ranking of World No. 54, climbing four spots from her previous rank.
This significant achievement follows a series of strong performances during her recent Asian swing, including reaching the semifinals of the Jingshan Open and the quarterfinals of the Suzhou Open.
Her campaign in the Jingshan Open ended in a three-set loss to New Zealand's Lulu Sun.
In the Suzhou Open, she fell short of the final four after a three-set loss to Switzerland's Viktorija Golubic.
Eala also competed in the qualifying rounds of the Wuhan Open, but lost to Japan's Moyuka Uchijima.
The 20-year-old Eala was also coming off a hectic September that began with a maiden WTA title win at the Guadalajara 125 Open.
She is currently set to compete in the upcoming Japan Open in Osaka.
