Alex Eala Doubles Down on Health Concerns Ahead of Washington Open
Top Filipino tennis star Alex Eala has made a worrisome admission about her health as she gets ready to compete in the Washington Open. Despite a stellar season, with WTA victories and deep tournament runs, the 21-year-old admits that playing both singles and doubles might be too much for her at this stage.
In a recent press conference, Eala pointed out an interesting reason why she will not team up with Venus Williams in Washington: 'Venus is someone who deserves a partner who can give their all physically, emotionally, mentally.' This implies that Eala's current health does not allow for such demanding competition without potential setbacks.
