Eala

Alexandra Eala made history for Philippine tennis in 2025.

At just 20 years old, the left-hander delivered a campaign that will long be remembered as a major turning point, both in her level of play and her impact on the international stage.

After two years of transition, Eala found her rhythm: 13 wins on the WTA tour, compared to only two before this season, and an impressive overall record of 40-26 including Challengers, ITF, and qualifying events.

But beyond the results, it was the impression she left that truly shifted her career.

From world No. 147 to the top 50: a meteoric rise

At the start of 2025, Eala was "only" the world No. 147. But by the end of 2025, she had become No. 50, a historic ranking as no Filipino player had ever reached such a position.

A performance highlighted notably by her run to the semifinals at the WTA 1000 in Miami.

Prize money: a spectacular transformation

But 2025 will also be remembered as the year Alexandra Eala changed her financial dimension. Across the 27 tournaments she played, she collected $907,777 in prize money.

A colossal total, more than double what she had accumulated since the start of her career.

And Miami, that tournament again, represents her biggest jackpot: $332,160 for her incredible run to the semifinals.

Finally, her first main draw Grand Slam victory, at the US Open, earned her an additional $154,000.

This season's accumulation of earnings allowed her to double her total prize money ($455,908). She now boasts $1,363,685 in career earnings.

A meteoric progression, mirroring the player she has become: more solid, more ambitious, and above all, ready to establish herself permanently among the world's elite.
