MANILA, Philippines — Alex Eala slipped two notches down to No. 35 in the WTA live rankings Monday.
Eala didn’t lose any points, even adding six for a total of 1,422.
Her descent was caused by Donna Vekic and Emma Raducanu making big leaps to No. 31 and 32, respectively, after reaching the final of the just concluded 500 HSBC Championships.
Winning the said tourney, Vekic jumped from No. 76 to No. 32 with 1436 points, with a net gain of 503.
On the other hand, the runner-up Raducanu leaped from No. 42 to 31 with 1,458 with a net gain of 217.
The movement in the live rankings hasn’t reflected yet in the official rankings as of writing.
