The Polish tennis player was unable to adapt to the aggressive style of the Filipina and leaves the American tour without any titles, hoping to regain her best tennis on clay courts.
Alexandra Eala is celebrating a double victory in this Miami Open 2025. First, for defeating three big tennis players, Grand Slam winners, such as Jelena Ostapenko, Madison Keys, and Iga Swiatek. And second, for her remarkable ascent in the WTA ranking by reaching the semifinals of the Florida tournament. Before her Miami debut, the Filipina was ranked at number 140, but after her incredible performance, she has climbed a total of 65 positions, currently provisionally standing at the 75th position. However, if she reaches the final, she would rise to 51st, and if she claims the title, she would place herself in the 34th position in the women's world ranking.
