Alex Eala is rapidly rising up the WTA Rankings after her first tour title in Washington and more encouraging wins in WTA 1000 events in Montreal and Cincinnati, with her prize money haul getting a boost over the last few weeks.

The Filipina superstar has emerged as one of the most talked about players in the women’s game over the last few weeks, with her win against defending champion Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon firing her into the headlines around the world.

Her continued success of North American hard courts looks set see Eala take centre stage at the US Open, with night session appearances likely in the opening week for the 21-year-old.

With new sponsors knocking on her door, the financial rewards for her success are certain to build from this point forward and she is also making strides up the all-time WTA Tour prize money charts.

Eala may have lost in a tight match against 2025 US Open finalist Amanda Anisimova on Monday in Cincinnati, but her run to the third round secured her $47,605 in prize money.

That new cash sees Eala break through the $3m barrier for career earnings, which is an impressive effort for a player who has only just started out on her career.

Eala has a long way to go before she catches the all-time prize money record of $94,932,862, with current world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka second in the list on $50,341,247.

Six-time Grand Slam champion is in third place on $46,971,769 and Venus Williams is in fourth with $43,162,380.

Eala could make a massive jump up the prize money charts if she enjoys success at the US Open, with official confirmation for the cash on offer in this year’s tournament set to be confirmed by USTA chiefs.

Last year’s prize money for the final major of the tennis year broke all records, as $5m was offered to the champions for the first time in the history of a Grand Slam tournament.

If Eala matches her run to the last-16 at Wimbledon with the same performance at the US Open, he will look to collect in excess of $400,000, while the boost in profile she will get in New York will add to her appeal to sponsors.

She already has sponsorship deals with Nike, Globe Telecom, Babolat, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Milo Philippines and Locally Juice, with the premium brands now certain to be fighting to add her to their list of ambassadors.
