Fresh from winning the first WTA singles title of her career, Alexandra Eala begins her National Bank Open campaign in Toronto this week looking to extend the momentum from her breakthrough triumph in Washington.
The 21-year-old Filipina arrives after lifting the Mubadala Citi DC Open title earlier this week, a result that moved her into the world's top 20 for the first time. As the No. 25 seed, Eala received a first-round bye before opening her campaign against American Alycia Parks.
