MANILA, Philippines—Alex Eala soared to her highest standing yet in the latest WTA rankings.

Eala soared to No. 340, jumping 73 spots from 413 just a week ago.

The Filipino tennis ace continued her rise after a runner-up finish in the W60 Madrid competition.

At 340th, Eala is now the highest-ranking Southeast Asian women’s tennis player.

The 17-year-old Eala is set to compete in the W25 Open Generali Ciudad de Palma de Rio in Spain which begins on June 27.

Eala is looking to add a third ITF title in the pro circuit after winning the W25 Chiang Rai tournament last April.
