MANILA, Philippines — Alex Eala's journey at the Miami Open may have just lasted a single match, but the learnings go far beyond. In her first try at a WTA tournament, the 15-year-old tennister picked up a lot more than her gritty three-setter match against WTA World No. "It's obviously a great experience for me and I'm very grateful for this opportunity to be surrounded by the top players and to see how they work and their work ethic," said Eala. "Being around these players and seeing how well they work makes me want to work harder as well," said Eala. After making her debut in the WTA tour, Eala will now head to Switzerland next for a $60,000 ITF tournament.
