Alex Eala Eyes Singapore Title

Alex Eala's draw for the Singapore Open has been announced, revealing her potential route to the championship. As the third seed in this WTA 500 tournament, Eala automatically advances to the second round. There, she is set to compete against either Sofia Costoulas or Tatiana Prozorova, both significantly lower in the world rankings.

In the quarter-finals, Eala might encounter Olympic silver medallist Donna Vekic. Despite Vekic's Queen's title win earlier this year, she has a less favorable recent record and has lost to Eala twice previously in 2026.

Looking ahead, Eala's projected semi-final opponent is two-time Grand Slam finalist Amanda Anisimova. Although Anisimova defeated Eala last month in Cincinnati, she has not reached a final this year.

The championship match could pit Eala against the top seed, Roland Garros champion Mirra Andreeva, who has never faced Eala before. This tournament marks Eala's 11th appearance in a WTA 500 main draw, holding a 12-9 win-loss record at this level.

The main draw begins on Monday, September 21, 2026, with Eala's first match likely on Wednesday. After the Singapore Open, Eala will represent the Philippines at the Asian Games in Japan.
