Alex Eala’s run in W15 professional tournaments placed her among the top 800 players of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA).
Having come from the Rafael Nadal Tennis Academy, she is now ranked as the world’s no. 763 (having moved up 140 slots) at the age of 15.
Eala achieved this feat in just a month and a half, battling the most veteran tennis players around the world.
Eala took the championship trophy during the first leg of the W15 Manacor Tournament, appearing in the quarterfinals in W15’s next two legs.
Eala pulled-off massive upsets in her W15 run, including a game against top-seed Seone Mendez and Carole Monnet of France.
Following her success, Eala and her camp are looking forward to her contending for a grand slam title.
