Continued rise kicks off with win in Guadalajara , and subsequent WTA events
Manila: Philippine tennis sensation Alexandra Eala is riding high.
Just after reaching a career-high in the official Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings, she’s now gearing up for yet another climb.
Based to the WTA live rankings, Eala is currently sitting at No. 52 (just behind her official ranking of No. 53), a fresh personal best.
She also had a string of solid showings in other WTA events, which helped vault her up the rankings.
Now Eala is back in China, preparing for the 2025 Guangzhou Open, where she will compete in both singles and doubles.
In singles, she faces the US’s Claire Liu today (October 21) in the first round.
In doubles, she has teamed up with Ukraine’s Nadiia Kichenok and they will take on China’s Tang Qianhui and Britain’s Emily Appleton in the Round of 16.
“Short term, I’m just trying to maintain this level … week by week,” she told Town and Country in a recent interview.
With her increased confidence and form aligned, Guangzhou could be another stepping-stone.
If she keeps this up, expect her to crack into the top 50 and make even bigger waves.
