Alex Eala ended her season on a high note as she reached a career-best No. 15 in the Women’s Tennis. Association (WTA) rankings.
Eala, 21, improved from her previous-best No. 17 following her run in the Hong Kong Tennis Open which saw her reach the final before losing to world No. 69 Claire Liu of the United States over the weekend.
Her title win in the Washington Open last August as well as reaching the Last 16 of the Wimbledon Championships last July were among the highlights of her season.
Eala will now take a much-deserved break before competing in an exhibition match against world No. 60 Janice Tjen of Indonesia on 8 December.
