Rising Filipino tennis star Alexandra “Alex” Eala is set to compete in two of the biggest events on the WTA calendar, joining the main draw at the 2026 Indian Wells Open in the United States, which runs from March 1–15, 2026.

Eala is also listed in the player field for the 2026 Miami Open, scheduled for mid-March, marking back-to-back high-profile appearances for the 20-year-old sensation.

Reflecting on her recent Dubai campaign, Eala shared on Instagram:

“Three weeks of fighting with love and pride has come to an end here in Dubai. The competition, the atmosphere, the hospitality, and the full-blown support has made these weeks ones I’ll never forget! Thank you.

@sabsantamaria once said, ‘it’s a privilege to play in front of people who see themselves in you.’ I couldn’t agree more. What a privilege it is to do what you love, with love. ❤️”

Eala has steadily climbed the WTA rankings, representing the Philippines on the global stage and inspiring a new generation of young athletes. Analysts and observers note that her technical skill, mental toughness, and on-court charisma make her a player to watch this hard-court season.

Her appearances at Indian Wells and Miami not only provide valuable ranking points but also allow her to gain experience against top-tier competition, further building her profile internationally.

With the Philippine flag on her gear and fans cheering worldwide, Alex Eala continues to show that the Philippines can produce world-class talent in the tennis arena.
