Alexandra “Alex” Eala has a packed schedule until around November as she continues her season following her stint at the Suzhou Open WTA 125.
Eala exited in the quarterfinals of the Suzhou tournament after a hard-fought match against Viktorija Golubic, losing 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(0).
Now, the Filipina tennis ace is set to compete in higher-tier tournaments on the WTA Tour.
