Alexandra Eala continues to take giant steps towards becoming one of the best tennis players in the world. The Filipina, ranked 28th in the WTA rankings, is proving that hard court is the best surface for her game. So far, she has made a strong start in this North American hard court swing. The 21-year-old is already in the quarterfinals of the WTA 500 Washington after defeating Leylah Fernandez with a score of 6-2, 7-6(1), after one hour and 55 minutes.

Although she dominated in the first set, in the second, she had to stage a great comeback to prevent the Canadian from forcing a third set. Eala was 5-1 down at one point, and Fernandez served twice to take the set, but the Filipina held on, gradually regained ground, and sealed the victory in the tiebreak.

Alexandra Eala is one win away from achieving her highest position in the WTA rankings

In this way, she advances to the quarterfinals of the American tournament, where she awaits the winner of the match between Elina Svitolina, the second seed, and Polina Kudermetova. In fact, if Eala reaches the semifinals, she would achieve her highest ranking position, provisionally moving up to the 25th spot in the world rankings.

Eala is carrying a huge burden of pressure, not just from the tennis world's expectations of her but also from the significant influence she has in the Philippines, where she is the leading figure in women's sports. As has been the case in any tournament she participates in, the stands at WTA Washington were full of compatriots waving the flag and cheering her on.

“This is what it means to be a Filipina. I think the community here in Washington is incredible. There was a fantastic atmosphere for both players, and I am really happy to have secured the victory today," said Eala after her successful debut yesterday against Qinwen Zheng.
