A rising star on the women's circuit, Alexandra Eala surprised the tennis world last March by reaching the semifinals of the WTA 1000 in Miami. On her way, she eliminated two top 10 players: Keys (quarterfinals) and Swiatek (semifinals).

At just 20 years old, the Philippines native is ranked 70th in the world and already has a WTA 250 final under her belt (Eastbourne). These are performances she aims to maintain and even improve in the future:

"In the short term, I'm just trying to maintain my current level and take things week by week. In the long term, I want to be world number one, but that's still a long way off. For now, it's important to think big."

Recently, she competed in the WTA 1000 in Canada and lost in the first round to the Czech player Vondrousova (3-6, 6-1, 6-2).

The impact of the war on tennis in Ukraine: financial aid, foundations, governing bodies and all‑round headaches

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Adrien Guyot 13/12/2025 à 09h00

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
