Filipina tennis star Alex Eala debuts at US Open
Filipina tennis player Alex Eala has arrived in New York for her debut in the US Open main draw, marking a significant step in her transition from junior standout to professional.
Eala shared photos from her arrival on Instagram with the caption, 'New York, New York'.
This is her first tournament since exiting the Montreal Open in Canada after a loss to Markéta Vondroušová.
Due to a shoulder injury, Eala also missed the Cincinnati and Monterrey Opens but has steadily climbed the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) rankings through strong performances, including her success in the Miami Open.
The draw for the US Open is scheduled later at midnight Manila time (Thursday noon in New York).
