Alex Eala set to compete in two WTA 125 tournaments

September 19 ------ Alexandra “Alex” Eala is set to compete in two WTA 125 tournaments in the next few weeks. Following her quarterfinals exit from the SP Open, Eala is now set to compete in the Jingshan Tennis Open in China. The event will run from September 22 to 28.

After that, the world no. 57 will head to Suzhou, China for the Suzhou WTA 125 which will be held from September 29 to October 5. Eala has been writing history for Philippine sports this year as she reached the semifinals of the Miami Open in March, the finals of Eastbourne Open in June, and made her main draw debuts in Grand Slam tournaments like the French Open.

In the US Open, she became the first Filipino player to win a Grand Slam singles main draw match in the Open Era after defeating Clara Tauson of Denmark, 6-3, 2-6, 7(13)-6(11) in the first round. Prior to her Sao Paulo stint, Eala also won her first WTA 125 title in Guadalajara.
