Filipino tennis ace Alex Eala has intensified her training on clay courts as she prepares for another major competition – the Italian Open.
Post-Madrid Preparation
Following her campaign at the Madrid Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) 1000 event, Eala has returned to the clay courts of the Rafa Nadal Academy (RNA) in Mallorca, Spain. There, she is honing her skills to peak condition for the Italian Open, scheduled to take place from May 5 to 17, 2026, at the Foro Italico.
Historic Main Draw Debut
This marks Eala’s first time competing in the main draw of the Italian Open, which is also a WTA 1000 event. The Filipina superstar shared a video on her Instagram account featuring her coaching team, composed of Joan Bosch, Lluc Bauza, and Sandro Viaene, whom she described as “the best.”
Eala’s training efforts are intense, especially as the Italian Open will feature top-tier players from around the world.
