Eala Ready to Disappear for a Bit After Breakout Season Comes to an End
Alex Eala said she is looking forward to lying low for a while after her breakout campaign ended on Sunday with a 6-3 6-0 defeat by American Claire Liu in the Hong Kong Open final. The 21-year-old, who became the highest-ranked Filipino and Southeast Asian player in WTA history earlier this season, has become a fan favorite this year and her run in Hong Kong will lift her to a career-high 15th in the world rankings.
