After a grueling but productive start to her Asian swing, Alex Eala set a new career high, rising to world no. 54 in the latest WTA rankings.
Alex Eala achieved a new career milestone as she climbed to world no. 54 in the latest WTA rankings released on Monday — surpassing her previous best of no. 56 set last June.
Eala’s rise from no. 58 last September 22 comes after a productive start to her Asian swing, where she competed in three tournaments in China.
The 20-year-old made the semifinals of the WTA 125 Jingshan Open and the quarterfinals of the WTA 125 Suzhou Open before falling in the first qualifying round of the Wuhan Open, the final WTA 1000 event of the year.
Her recent stretch also tested her endurance, as she played five three-set matches in just eight days, showing resilience and consistency amid a busy schedule.
