‘Alex Eala Can Copy Novak Djokovic for Grand Slam Glory
Talent has the potential to reach new heights, according to former British no.1 Greg Rusedski who believes Alex Eala can elevate her game by focusing on her serve. The rising Filipina star’s recent run at Wimbledon was nothing short of exceptional; she reached the last 16 defeating Iga Swiatek and Serena Williams’ conqueror Maya Joint. However, for Rusedski, there's room for refinement. His advice? ‘She can loosen up the wrist position a little bit like Novak Djokovic,’ he told Off Court.
Key Serve Changes
Djokovic’s transformation from a struggling serve to his current form is well-documented. According to the 24-time major winner, his serve has undergone numerous adjustments over the years to settle into its present form. Rusedski suggests that Eala could benefit from similar, subtle techniques to harness a more powerful and accurate delivery.
Wimbledon Success and Future Prospects
The 20-year-old made significant strides at Wimbledon, marking her first Grand Slam quarter-final appearance. Moreover, Rusedski sees SW19 as Eala's best chance for deep major title runs in the future, stressing the importance of serving prowess.
