Alex Eala back in Rafa Nadal Academy ahead of US Open stint
The 20-year-old Filipina tennis star hasn't seen action since July 28 or when she absorbed a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 loss to Czech Republic's Marketa Vondrousova in the Canadian Open.
After that tournament, Eala had to withdraw from the Cincinnati Open due to a shoulder injury, which also forced her to miss the Montreal Open as well.
?But Eala appears to be recovering well, already back to her training routine as shown in videos shared by the Rafa Nadal Academy on Monday.
The development came just days after Eala dropped to no. 68 in the world rankings. She reached a career-high of no. 56 back in June.
Barring any injuries, Eala is expected to compete in the Monterrey Open in Mexico before the US Open, which begins on August 24.
