Alex Eala’s prize money for 2026 confirmed as she ends her first full season on the WTA Tour
Alexandra Eala capped her debut full season on the WTA Tour with a poignant finish, ending her campaign in the final of the Hong Kong Open after a 6-3, 6-0 defeat to Claire Liu. The Filipina rising star, who secured her first WTA title earlier this year in Washington, concluded 2026 with a historic career-high ranking despite the emotional setback in Hong Kong.
Eala’s season included five standout wins, though the final against Liu marked the end of her 2026 journey, which she reflected on with raw honesty during her post-match remarks. Her journey also saw her face off against top contenders, including a runner-up finish in Washington and a series of competitive losses that shaped her development on the tour.
