Filipina sensation Alexandra Eala is all set to make her second appearance at the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open next year, the organisers of the WTA 500 event announced on Tuesday.

The former US Open junior champion will join a host of elite players in the premier tennis tournament, which will be held from January 31 to February 7, 2026, at the International Tennis Centre in Zayed Sports City, Abu Dhabi.

The 20-year-old, who trains at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain, became a national hero in the basketball-obsessed Philippines when she reached the semifinals of the Miami Open last year, pulling off stunning straight-set wins over Major winners Jeļena Ostapenko, Madison Keys, and Iga Świątek.

Eala lost the semifinal to Jessica Pegula, but her dream run in the Masters event announced her arrival on the global stage.
