Alex Eala drops to no. 68 in world rankings

Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala dropped three spots in the latest world ranking released by the Women's Tennis Association for the week of August 11.

From no. 65 last July 28, the 20-year-old player is now at no. 68.

Eala fell short against Markéta Vondroušová in the opening round of the Canadian Open before it was reported that she pulled out of the Cincinnati Open due to a shoulder injury.

The Filipina tennis star reached a career-high of no. 56 back in June after her first WTA finals stint in the Eastbourne Open.

Barring any injuries, Eala is expected to compete in the Monterrey Open in Mexico and in the US Open this month.
