Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala is once again partnering with American icon Venus Williams, this time in the Mubadala DC Open in Washington, DC.
Eala and Williams will be part of a star-studded doubles lineup in the tournament, which will feature 18 Grand Slam doubles and mixed doubles champions across both the ATP and the WTA tours.
Eala and Williams first teamed up last month in the Bad Homburg Open. They won against Alexandra Osborne and Catherine Harrison in the first round before getting bounced in the quarterfinal by Olivia Nicholls and Tereza Mihalikova.
Williams has won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles with her young sister, Serena. In last year’s tournament, she also reached the quarterfinals as she paired up with Hailey Baptiste.
The Mubadala DC Open is scheduled from July 25 to August 2.
For her part, Eala returned to the country last week, after a fruitful performance at Wimbledon.
She reached the Round of 16 in the Grand Slam tournament before falling against Jasmine Paolini.
In the doubles’ tournament, Eala and partner Nikola Bartunkova bowed out in the first round against Jelena Ostapenko and Sofia Kenin.
