Alex Eala improved a notch on her career-best WTA ranking ahead of her campaign in the WTA250 Guangzhou Open starting today.
From No. 54, Eala improved to No. 53 despite her early exit in the Japan Open last week.
In Guangzhou, she teams up with WTA doubles No. 58 Nadiia Kichenok of Ukraine against the fourth-seeded pair of Great Britain’s Emily Appleton (No. 80) and China’s Qianhui Tang (No. 69) at 10 a.m.
