It looks like Alex Eala is back on track.
The 18-year-old Filipino tennis sensation regained her bearing after improving her world ranking to No. 228 following strong performances in the last two International Tennis Federation (ITF) events, including winning her first pro title this year.
Eala propelled 38 notches from No. 266 late in May, where she went on to capture the W25 Yecla crown in Spain last week then followed it up with a quarterfinal finish in the W25 Madrid over the weekend. It was her best ranking so far over the past two months after seeing her ranking of No. 215 plummet in April after struggling in various tournaments. She grappled with first- and second-round finishes in four events, then slowly picked herself up with a quarters appearance in W25 Monastir in Tunisia mid-May that set the tone on her latest accomplishments. Eala, who ranked as high as No. 214 in October last year, returns to Mallorca, Spain at the Rafa Nadal Academy where she aims to sustain this momentum in her future tournaments. “A very positive three weeks comes to an end! Back to Mallorca to continue working,” Eala wrote on her social media.
