What happened
Alex Eala is prioritizing representing the Philippines at the Asian Games over the WTA Tour for the moment — even if that means risking a fine from the women’s tour. Eala had to withdraw from the China Open in Beijing — a mandatory WTA 1000 event — to compete at the Asian Games. “It was a decision I didn’t take lightly,” Eala told SNTV after winning her second-round match at the Asian Games.
