Eala Finds Solace Away From Court in Madrid
29 Apr
Summary
- Eala values family time in Madrid for mental reset.
- She was eliminated from the Madrid Open tournament.
- Eala will compete next in the Italian Open in Rome.
Filipino tennis star Alexandra Eala recently highlighted the significant role her family plays in her life, particularly during her time in Madrid. She explained that being with her parents and their friends allows her to completely switch off from tennis, offering a refreshing mental break.
Eala elaborated on how this detachment is vital, especially after demanding training sessions or competitions. She shared an instance of having a difficult training day, but upon joining her family for dinner, the conversation steered clear of tennis, enabling her to forget her struggles and perform better the next day. While Eala resides in Mallorca and trains at the Rafael Nadal academy, her family's proximity in Madrid offers invaluable support.
Following her departure from the Madrid Open, Eala is set to compete in the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, a WTA 1000 event in Rome from May 5 to 17. This tournament will feature top players, including World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka. Eala's previous appearance at this event in 2025 saw her eliminated in the first round by Marta Kostyuk.
