Alex Eala graduates from Rafa Nadal Academy

Alex Eala graduated from the Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain on Thursday.

The Filipina tennis ace shared photos of her graduation class on her Instagram story.

The achievement came just days after Eala jumped 38 spots to no. 228 in the Women's Tennis Association rankings.

Eala has been in the academy since 2018 and has won contests such as ITF Manacor, Chiang Rai, and Yecla, and junior Grand Slam tournaments Australian Open (2020, doubles), French Open (2021, doubles), and US Open (2022).

WTA no. 1 Iga Swiatek was also among the academy's graduates.

Aside from tennis training, the Rafa Nadal Academy also has an international school to prepare students for university entry.
