currently sits at a career high ranking of World No 28, but she could be set for an even bigger jump in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The star has enjoyed her best season yet on the WTA Tour, which has included a very impressive run to the fourth round of Wimbledon, as well as a victory at the Birmingham Open.<\/p>\n<p>Her impressive performances on the grass court swing, which also included a semi final appearance at the Berlin Open, have put her in a very good position to earn seeded entry into the US Open later this year.<\/p>\n<p>The Filipina star is very likely to continue to rise up the rankings too, as she has very little points to defend over the North American hardcourt swing.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old did not really flourish at this stage of last season, which could come in handy as she looks to crack the elite of the WTA Tour.<\/p>\n<h2>More Alex Eala news<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alex-ealas-sends-message-army-fans-coco-gauff-praise-rising-wta-star\">Alex Eala\u2019s sends message to her army of fans as Coco Gauff leads praise for rising WTA star<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-ranking-alex-eala-alternative-list\">Alex Eala and Emma Raducanu\u2019s true ranking may be reflected by alternative list<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alex-eala\">Eala<\/a> is defending just 70 ranking points up until after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/us-open\">US Open<\/a>, so on current form you would expect the rising star to keep climbing the rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Eala was knocked out of the Canadian Open in the first round, before she earned the first Grand Slam of her career by defeating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/clara-tauson\">Clara Tauson<\/a> in the US Open first round.<\/p>\n<p>That means Eala has three tournaments to try and bolster her ranking before the Asian swing.<\/p>\n<h2>Alexandra Eala\u2019s upcoming schedule<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Canadian Open (August 1st-August 13th)<\/li>\n<li>Cincinnati Open (August 11th-August 23)<\/li>\n<li>US Open (August 23-September 13th)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The star will play two Masters events, in Toronto and Cincinnati, as well as the US Open as part of the North American hardcourt swing.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the star picks up a couple of victories across the tournaments she will be guaranteed to pick up some very valuable ranking points.<\/p>\n<p>That will not only help Eala keep her lead over Jelena Ostapenko, who currently holds the World No 29 spot, but it will help her climb up the rankings.<\/p>\n<p>There is just 163 ranking points splitting World No 28 and World No 24, which is currently occupied by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/marie-bouzkova\">Marie Bouzkov\u00e1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If Eala can replicate the kind of form she found on the grass court swing, she will almost definitely make up ground on some of the best players on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/WTA-Tour\">WTA Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If she can string some victories together, Eala could be on the cusp of the top 20 of the WTA Tour rankings for the first time in her career.<\/p>\n<p>It would be more than deserved for the star who has gone from strength to strength in the last 18 months, picking up some impressive victories against top 10 players.<\/p>\n<p>Since the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/miami-open\">Miami Open<\/a>, Eala has beaten the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/madison-keys\">Madison Keys<\/a>, <a
