After her first-round loss at the Canadian Open and a withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open due to a shoulder injury, Filipina tennis sensation Alexandra “Alex” Eala has fallen in the WTA live rankings. She is currently ranked at approximately No. 67, down from her previous position around No. 65. This places her just behind Renata Zarazúa and ahead of Elena-Gabriela Ruse.
The official WTA rankings, updated for the week of August 11, show Eala has dropped three spots, landing at No. 68. This ranking shift reflects her Canadian Open performance and subsequent absence from Cincinnati.
What It Means
This ranking dip highlights the impact of both the early tournament exit and her decision to step back from competition due to injury. That said, Eala remains in striking distance of her career-high ranking of No. 56, achieved in mid-2025.
With the US Open on the horizon, her focus will be on recovery and regaining rhythm—both critical steps if she hopes to climb back up the rankings and build on her historic breakthroughs.
Summary
Prior Rank | Current Rank | Reason for Drop |
---|---|---|
~No. 65 | No. 67–68 | First-round loss in Montreal & Cincinnati withdrawal |
