Her latest match: Asian Games semifinal on 1 October
Eala went to Nagoya as the top seed in women's singles. She beat Patcharin Cheapchandej of Thailand 6-1, 6-0 and Chinese Taipei's Joanna Garland 7-5, 6-0, then lost the semifinal to China's Wang Xiyu, ranked No. 85, 6-3, 3-6, 2-6. The defeat meant a bronze medal – her second Asian Games singles bronze after Hangzhou – and the end of her hopes of winning gold, which would also have brought a place at the LA 2028 Olympics. The Asian Games carry no WTA ranking points.
Her latest match on the WTA Tour was even earlier: on 24 September she lost her opening match at the WTA 500 Singapore Tennis Open to Tatiana Prozorova 6-4, 5-7, 3-6 after 3 hours 9 minutes. The six most recent matches are listed below, with her games first.

Alex Eala's next match: Wuhan Open from 12 October
The Wuhan Open is a WTA 1000 event on outdoor hard courts with a 56-player draw. Eala is on the official main-draw entry list, so her participation is confirmed, but the draw had not been published on 8 October 2026. Until it is, nobody can say who her first opponent will be or on which day she plays. In a 56 draw the first-round byes normally go to the top eight seeds; at No. 18 she is not expected to receive one, and a claim online that she has a bye is unverified.
First-round matches are spread over the opening days of the tournament, from 12 October onwards. After Wuhan she is entered in Ningbo (19–25 October) and Tokyo (26 October to 1 November); the dates and status of every event are in Alex Eala's schedule and next match.
What time does Alex Eala play today in Philippine time?
For Wuhan the conversion is easy: China uses UTC+8, exactly like the Philippines, so a time on the order of play is also the time in Manila. At WTA 1000 events, play on the show courts usually begins around 11:00 to 12:00 local time, which is the same in PHT for tournaments in China. Her exact start time depends on where her match is placed on the order of play, which the tournament publishes the evening before. The order of play uses a few standard phrases:
- A fixed start time – the first match on a court begins at that time, for example 11:00.
- "Followed by" – the match starts only when the previous one on that court has ended, so the real start can shift by hours.
- "Not before" – the earliest possible start; it is often used for evening matches.
Women's best-of-three matches often last around 90 minutes to two hours, but three-setters can run much longer, as her Singapore match showed. Rain can also suspend play on outdoor courts: the Washington final began on 2 August and was only completed on 3 August 2026.
