MANILA, February 8 ------ Filipino tennis star Alex Eala has reached a new milestone in her career, climbing to a personal-best world No. 45 in the latest Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings.

The 20-year-old rose four spots from No. 49 last week, continuing her steady ascent on the professional tour following her quarterfinal finish in the inaugural Philippine Women’s Open. Eala’s rise follows a strong early-season showing, as she continues to convert consistent performances into ranking points. The milestone also makes her the first Filipino player to crack the WTA Top 50.
