Eala out to breach Top 50
Filipina tennis player Alexandra Eala is projected to reach a new career-best world ranking of No. 55 after her quarterfinal run at the 2025 WTA250 Sao Paulo Open.
This projected new ranking comes after accumulating 29 more tour points, bringing her total to 1083, and improving from her previous rank of World No. 61.
Her previous career-high was World No. 56, achieved after a runner-up finish at the WTA250 Eastbourne Open in England.
Eala, the tournament's third seed, has secured seven consecutive wins on her South American tour, including victories against France's Yasmine Mansouri (6-0, 6-2) and Argentina's Julia Riera (6-1, 6-4).
She was set to face Indonesia's Janice Tjen in the quarterfinals, aiming for a potential Top-50 ranking and a Final Four spot.
Eala recently became the first Filipina champion in WTA history at the WTA125 Guadalajara Open and the first Filipina winner in any Grand Slam main draw at the US Open.
