ISPORTS | Eala, umakyat sa world ranking No. 45; kinilalang 'highest-ranked' sa PH tennis

Patuloy na umarangkada si Alex Eala sa larangan ng tennis matapos niyang makamit ang bagong career-high world ranking No. 45 sa Women's Tennis Association (WTA) nito lamang Lunes, Pebrero 2, dahilan para manatili sa kamay niya ang pinakamataas na ranggo sa kasaysayan ng Philippine tennis.

‎

‎Bunsod nito, nalampasan ng Filipina tennis star ang dati niyang record na No. 49, at kasalukuyang may hawak na 1,163 puntos.

‎

‎Pinalakas ito ng kamakailan niyang stint sa WTA125 Philippine Women’s Open, kung saan nagtapos siya bilang quarterfinalist matapos madaig ni Camila Osorio ng Colombia, 4-6, 4-6, noong Enero 29.

‎

‎Magtatangka muli si Eala na pataasin ang kaniyang ranggo sa darating na WTA500 Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open ngayong 10:10 PM, Lunes ng gabi, para harapin si world No. 79 Zeynep Sönmez.
