Alex Eala has been the breakout story of the 2026 WTA season, and her schedule for the coming months confirms she is not planning to ease up anytime soon. The 21-year-old Filipina star claimed her first WTA title at the Washington Open, a victory that propelled her inside the top 20 for the first time in her career. She has since kept the momentum rolling at the Canadian Open in Toronto, reaching the round of 16 with wins over Alycia Parks and Caty McNally, having won 10 of her last 11 matches overall.
Next up for Eala is the Cincinnati Open, which begins on August 11th. Observers noted she looked a little fatigued during the McNally match, so back-to-back high-level events will test her stamina. Should she go deep in Toronto, her Cincinnati preparations will be minimal.
From Cincinnati, Eala heads straight to Flushing Meadows for the US Open, where she will carry a double workload. She has signed up for the Mixed Doubles draw alongside Felix Auger-Aliassime, meaning she could be in New York for all three weeks of the Grand Slam if singles and doubles runs align.
Rounding out her confirmed calendar is the Singapore Open, which starts on September 21st, just eight days after the US Open final. Eala has never appeared in the Singapore main draw before, having fallen in qualifying back in 2025, so this will be a fresh experience on the Asian swing.
With the WTA Finals potentially within reach, additional Asian events like Wuhan and the China Open could also appear on her radar depending on results at the Slam. TennisDraw users have been heavily backing Eala as a deep-run pick throughout this remarkable summer stretch.
