Alex Eala is set for the WTA grass-court season, starting things off with a double duty at the Birmingham Open in England.
Fresh off her historic Grand Slam debut, Alex Eala returns to action this week as she kicks off her grass-court campaign at the Lexus Birmingham Open, a WTA 125 event in England.
Eala, who recently wrapped up a challenging clay season highlighted by a maiden main draw appearance at Roland Garros, is once again taking on double duty.
The 20-year-old Filipina will team up with Switzerland’s Rebeka Masarova in the doubles draw, while entering the singles competition as the no. 3 seed.
Her French Open run saw a first-round exit in singles, but she managed to reach the second round in doubles, gaining valuable experience on one of tennis' biggest stages.
Now shifting surfaces, Eala looks to carry that knowledge into the grass season, where movement and adaptability are key.
With her growing all-court game and competitive fire, the rising star is eager to make her mark once again starting in Birmingham.
