Alex Eala officially makes US Open entry list

MANILA, Philippines, July 26 ------ Alex Eala’s second main draw appearance in the US Open is official. Eala’s name has been included in the entry list for the US Open that will run from August 30 to September 13, marking her fourth and last Grand Slam main draw competition this season.

The Filipino tennis ace, current ranked No. 29 in the WTA, looks to unleash another solid Grand Slam campaign, following her round of 16 entry in Wimbledon early this month, where she dethroned defending champion Iga Swiatek. Eala got her first career Grand Slam main draw win last year after beating Clara Tauson in the US Open first round before losing to Cristina Bucsa.

The Rafa Nadal Academy graduate got her much-needed break in the Philippines last week before beginning her US Open build-up. Eala, a former US Open junior champion, will compete in the Mubadala DC Open in Washington next week both in singles and doubles, partnering with the legendary Venus Williams.

She will also see action in the Canada Open, Cincinnati Open, and appear in the US Open star showcase.
