Filipina tennis star Alex Eala is back to work.

The youthful ace has resumed training on the hard courts of the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, Spain, she shared in a social media post.

This was a promising sign from the World’s No. 68 player, as she recently pulled out of the Cincinnati tournament this week due to the shoulder issues that hobbled her at the Montreal Open.

Last July 28, the 20-year-old Eala was toppled by 26-year-old Czech player Marketa Vondrousova, 6-3, 1-6, 2-6, in Canada due to shoulder injuries.

Fortunately, Eala is now back in training, and she will need all the preparations she can get as next up for her is a stint at the US Open.

Recently, Eala slipped to her present Women’s Tennis Association ranking from No. 65 due to the results of her previous tilts.

Her previous career-best was No. 56, which she earned last June, just after her campaign in the Eastbourne Open and right before she competed in Wimbledon. (ABS-CBN News)
