No 1 Caroline Wozniacki has spoken to Tennis365 about Alex Eala after the Filipina\u2019s impressive 2026 Wimbledon campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Eala\u2019s run to the fourth round at this year\u2019s Wimbledon Championships is the best Grand Slam result of her career to date.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old crushed world No 75 Renata Zarazua 6-1, 6-2 in the opening round for her first-ever victory at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the second round, Eala prevailed 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 against 87th-ranked Maya Joint \u2014 who beat Serena Williams in the first round.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alex-eala\">Eala<\/a> then stunned world No 3 and 2025 Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek 7-6(9), 6-2 in the third round on Centre Court for her seventh career win against a top 10 player \u2014 and first at a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>Her run at the All England Club ended with a close 4-6, 6-4, 3-6 loss to world No 17 Jasmine Paolini in the last 16.<\/p>\n<p>Having started the tournament as the world No 32, Eala is set to climb to a new career-high ranking of 28th when the WTA Rankings update next week.<\/p>\n<h2>Wimbledon News<\/h2>\n<p><a

Great from the baseline. I think it helps her that she\u2019s a leftie, with her serve obviously not being great \u2014 that\u2019s her biggest place for improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it does help that she has that leftie slice, and it does give trouble to the opponents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like her attitude, I like the way that she has great tennis IQ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think we\u2019re going to see her for many, many more years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eala amassed a 12-4 record during a fruitful 2026 grass-court season, having won a Challenger event in Birmingham and reached the semi-finals at the WTA 500 in Berlin prior to Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>Following her loss to Paolini, Eala said: \u201cThere are so many positives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, one I think is how I\u2019ve handled pressure. I mean, there\u2019s pressure every week, right? Of course, the more you want to win, I think the more kind of like pressure goes along with that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy with how I faced it head on. I think I kept cool when I needed to control my emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/kyle-edmund-exclusive-tennis-rule-change-warmup-wimbledon\">Kyle Edmund doubles down on calls for a radical tennis rule change at Wimbledon<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Eala gets glowing \u2018great potential\u2019 verdict from Caroline Wozniacki after Wimbledon run Ewan West 12 Jul 2026 1:00 PM Caroline Wozniacki speaks about Alex Eala Former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki has spoken to Tennis365 about Alex Eala after the Filipina\u2019s impressive 2026 Wimbledon campaign.
