After a semi-final finish at the 2020 French Open at Roland Garros girls singles, trailblazing tennis Filipina Alex Eala lands the second top spot in the ITF World tennis Junior Rankings finishing off at 2148.75 points with 24 events played in total.

Rising two notches higher than her former rank, the 15-year old was the lone Asian to have successfully clinched a spot in the top ten rankings.

Eala is 112.5 shy away from France’s Elsa Jacquemot who was later named champion.

Jenalla Rose Prulla is at No. 733, the next Filipina player succeeding Eala.
