After making history on the grass court, Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala has slipped to No. 69 in the latest Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) world rankings, down from her career-best at No. 56.
The drop comes after a well-deserved three-week break following her trailblazing run in the grass season, where she became the first Filipina to reach a WTA final and competed in the main draw of Wimbledon—a milestone in Philippine tennis history.
But the 19-year-old star is far from done. Eala is set to return to action next week at the National Bank Open in Montreal, a prestigious WTA 1000 tournament that marks a key part of her build-up toward the US Open.
All eyes are on Alex as she prepares to bounce back and climb the rankings once again. Let’s go, champ!
