MANILA, Philippines—Alex Eala looks to spring back from a foot injury as she takes part in the W25 Milovice of the ITF Women’s World Tour at Milten Sport Centrum Milovice in the Czech Republic.

The hardcourt tournament will be held from November 22 to 28 and will have $25,000 cash prize.

Eala is already into the main draw, as per her status as a junior exempt entry, of the tournament that will feature top 300 players from women’s tennis.

The 16-year-old played in a limited capacity due to her injury during the US Open Juniors Championships in September wherein she finished in the quarterfinals and the semifinals of the singles and doubles tournaments, respectively.

This would be Eala’s first tournament since the US Open in September.
