Alexandra Eala was one of the breakout stars of 2025, after cracking the top 50 of the WTA Tour rankings for the first time.
Eala, who is currently competing at the SEA Games, enjoyed an incredible run to the 2025 Miami Open semi-finals.
The star defeated Iga Swiatek, Madison Keys, and Jelena Ostapenko en route to her first Masters final four place.
She followed it up with a final appearance at the Eastbourne Open, as well as a win at the WTA 125 event in Guadalajara.
Following her breakout season, Eala has been rewarded with two WTA Awards.
Alexandra Eala responds to the news she has won two WTA Awards
Eala ends her stunning 2025 with two WTA Awards for ‘Moments of the Year’ for her work throughout the season.
The 20-year-old earned the award in the WTA 1000 category for becoming the first Filipina semifinalist in history.
How high do you think Alexandra Eala’s ceiling is?
The star also managed to bag the award in the WTA 250 category for her incredible final tie-break against Maya Joint at the Eastbourne Open.
Eala was on the wrong side of the result, but the pair played out a thrilling decider which ended up being won 12-10 by Joint.
The Filipino’s dream 2025 has continued as she has been heavily rewarded for the exciting things she has managed this season.
What can Alexandra Eala achieve in 2026?
Eala has all the tools to succeed on the WTA Tour, but she will not have the shock factor she enjoyed this term.
The top players will be aware of the danger that Eala poses, which means she will have to make another step up in 2026.
What is your bold prediction for the 2026 tennis season?
The star should be looking at claiming her first WTA 250 or higher, although she will also be hoping to lift the very first Philippines tournament in Manila in January.
The rising star will also be hoping to step up in Grand Slam events, as she has only ever won one match on the big stages.
She defeated Clara Tauson in the 2025 US Open first round, but she fell at the next hurdle to Cristina Bucsa.
