Alex Eala won’t stop. She’s hungrier than ever before and she is set to join two more tournaments in the ITF Rafael Nadal Academy World Tennis Tour.
Fresh off an impressive championship run during the first leg, Eala will look to maintain the momentum she gained and will look to repeat in the next two legs of the circuit series.
The 15-year-old Filipina tennis sensation will again enter both tourney legs as a juniors’ reserved player just like her championship stint a few days ago.
Rafa Nadal’s ITF 2nd leg will begin from January 25 to January 31 while the next leg will be staged from February 1 to 7.
It will be a busy schedule for Eala as she is set to defend her championship title with only a few days of rest until action begins again.
After defeating heavyweight singles players such as Yvonne Cavalle-Reimers and Seone Mendez, Eala will be expecting tougher battles ahead as more players will try to chase and snatch the coveted title away from her.
Aside from the bragging rights and the point booster for world-title ranking, Eala will also seek to nab the $15,000 cash prize for both legs.
