Filipina tennis sensation Alex Eala suffers setback as hardcourt swing begins

Breaking: After career-high rise, 20-year-old returns to tour with a tricky draw before US Open

The hardcourt season was supposed to be her moment to shine. But just as Alex Eala begins her US Open build-up, the Filipino star finds herself facing an early challenge — a rankings drop and a first-round clash against a Grand Slam champion. Eala, 20, has slipped from a career-best No 56 to world No 69 in the latest Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings following a three-week break from competition. The brief pause — which included a homecoming in Manila — came after a gruelling run through the European summer, where she made her debut in the main draws of both the French Open and Wimbledon.
