Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala, ranked World No. 50, is registered for the WTA 125 Philippine Women's Open.

Her participation from January 26 to 31, 2026, is contingent on her performance in the Australian Open, which runs from January 12 to February 1, 2026.

If Eala reaches the third round or quarterfinals of the Australian Open, she will be unable to compete in the Philippine tournament.

PHILTA chose the current dates for the Philippine Women's Open to allow Eala a chance to play.

The Philippine Women's Open will be held at the Felicisimo Ampon Tennis Court inside the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, with renovations underway to meet WTA standards.

PSC chairman Patrick Gregorio and TIEZA COO Mark Lapid are involved in the event's organization and facility upgrades.
