Greg Rusedski Makes Bold Prediction for Alex Eala Amid Troubling Slump

Alexandra Eala, the rising Filipino tennis star, has faced a noticeable dip in form following her breakthrough season, which included a third-round appearance at the US Open in September. The 21-year-old has lost three of her last five singles matches, including a first-round exit at the Singapore Open to unranked opponent Tatiana Prozorova and a three-set defeat to Han Shi at the Wuhan Open.

Despite winning bronze at the Asian Games—where she was the top seed—Eala fell short of expectations, losing in the semifinals to Wang Xiyu. Former British No.

1 Greg Rusedski dismissed concerns about her slump, attributing it to the demands of her newfound fame, including fashion appearances and media commitments after her Wimbledon and US Open successes. He advised Eala to prioritize recovery, finish the year strong, and take a break before returning to training with renewed focus for the 2027 season.
