The Filipina tennis wunderkind vowed a stronger fight next season in a bid to win her first Grand Slam, climb upper in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) rankings, and capture more pro titles after reaching 50th place at the end of the 2025 WTA Tour.
"This marks the beginning of what I hope to be a long, happy and fruitful career on tour. Thank you everybody. See you in 2026," Eala penned on social media.
Eala, only 20 years young, became the first Filipina in history to barge into the world's Top 50 tennis players - thanks to a stellar run around the world marked by her first WTA title in Mexico and a first-ever Grand Slam main draw for any Filipina ever at the US Open.
