Eala to finish WTA 2026 in top 15

Eala to finish WTA 2026 in top 15

FILIPINO tennis ace Alex Eala is set for a career-best No. 15 finish in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) 2026 season rankings. Regardless of her WTA 250 Hong Kong Open final result against Claire Liu Sunday afternoon, Eala already secured the No. 15 spot with 2,392 points. After Hong Kong, the only tournament left is the season-ended WTA Finals at Indian Wells from Nov. 8 to 15 but only the top eight players are participating so it won’t affect Eala’s ranking no matter the result. With 2,392 points as her base, last week's No. 17 Eala will eclipse No. 15 Sorana Cirstea who ended her season with 2,386 points. The live rankings Saturday night indicated that Eala can pad her total points to 2,479 with a Hong Kong championship, but that won't be enough to push her up a notch at No. 14. Current No. 14 Elise Mertens will stay at her place since she has 2,540 total points. A top 15 finish meant a 35-rank improvement for Eala who finished last year as top 50. In a fitting follow-up to her first WTA main tour, Eala went on to make a historic fourth-round finish at Wimbledon last July which is the highest for any Filipino player. Eala also secured her first main Tour title at the 500 D.C. Open in Washington last August. Two months earlier in June, Eala claimed a 125-tier Birmingham Open title. Thus, she could raise her titles to three with a Hong Kong championship. Eala made it to the final after defeating Emerson Jones in the first round, 6-4, 6-3; Tereza Valentova in the second, 6-4, 7-6(7); Antonia Ruzic in the quarterfinals, 7-6(7); and Maria Sakkari in the semifinals, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4. The lefty netter was seeking a payback win against world No. 102 Liu in the final. Eala yielded to Liu at the Guangzhou Open first round in October last year, 6-2, 4-6, 4-6.

AU, EAC clash for twice-to-beat incentive

ARELLANO University and Emilio Aguinaldo College will clash for the twice-to-beat incentive in Group B of the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament on Monday at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City. Both teams enter the game tied at 6-6, as the winner will claim second place in Group B and secure the twice-to-beat advantage heading into the quarterfinals. The Arellano Chiefs and EAC Generals tip off at 5 p.m., following the Group A matchup between Mapua University and Lyceum of the Philippines University at 3 p.m. The Generals came off a confidence-boosting win against Group B leader Colegio de San Juan de Letran after a 78-71 victory, while the Chiefs escaped the win-seeking San Sebastian College-Recoletos, 69-6. In EAC’s win over Letran, Jacob Shanoda led the scoring with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Jude Bagay added 12 points and three rebounds for the victory. This crucial win for EAC forced a tie in the Group B standings. In the first round, Arellano won over EAC by a slim 90-87 victory, with Basti Valencia’s go-ahead triple and T-mc Ongotan’s floater in the dying seconds of the match. If Arellano wants to recreate its victory against EAC, Ongotan and King Vinoya should all chip in their forces against the trio of Bagay, Kyle Octavo, and Raymundo. In Season 101, Arellano made the quarterfinals, while EAC only reached the play-in round and lost to JRU. Before Season 101, the format was just the Final Four. EAC has never reached the top 4 or any playoff stage in their history since joining the NCAA in 2009. In Group A’s action, Mapua looks to close out the preliminary round with a victory against Lyceum. Mapua, relegated to the play-in round, enjoys a twice-to-beat advantage. Lyceum and Mapua will face each other once more in the play-in round.
