Barely five years ago, Alex Eala was a 15-year-old prodigy from the Rafael Nadal Academy, armed with a booming forehand and a fire that refused to dim. Today, she’s cracked the Top 50 — the highest ranking ever achieved by a Filipino tennis player.
The hopes of Alex Eala for another title run this season came to a halt in Suzhou, where she was edged out in a taut, seesaw battle by Swiss veteran Viktorija Golubic, 6-2, 2-6, 6-7.
Alex Eala is headed to the quarterfinals of the Sozhou WTA 125, but not before surviving a three-set knife fight against Belgium’s Greet Minnen—a seasoned bruiser with a cannon for a serve and just enough wildness to make things interesting.
Alex Eala came out swinging like a woman on a mission. Determined to book her place in the final of the WTA 125 Jingshan Tennis Open, the 20-year-old Filipina raced through the first set against familiar foe Lulu Sun of New Zealand, 6-3, in 35 minutes.
