She earned a bronze medal in each of the three events she participated in: women's team (with Marian Capadocia, Shaira Hope Rivera, and Jenaila Rose Prulla), mixed doubles (with Treat Huey), and women's singles.[30]
2023–2025: First Filipina in WTA Tour semifinal and top 100
[edit]In 2023, Eala made her debut in the qualifying draw of the Australian Open but she lost her first match to Misaki Doi in three sets.[31] She qualified for the Thailand Open but lost in the first round to sixth seed Tatjana Maria.[32] She received wildcards for the main draw at the 2023 Miami Open[33] and at the Madrid Open.

Eala started the 2024 season in the Canberra Tennis International. In doubles, she partnered with the Brazilian player Laura Pigossi, reaching the semifinals.[36] The Filipino-Brazilian duo was defeated by the Australian pair Kaylah McPhee and Astra Sharma in straight sets.[37] She received wildcards for the qualifying draw at the 2024 Miami Open, and for the main draw at the Madrid Open.[38] During the 2024 Miami Open, she stunned former world No. 5, Sara Errani, during the first round of qualifying winning in straight sets.[39] However, in the second round of qualifying, she suffered cramps and lost to Emiliana Arango.[40] At the Madrid Open, she recorded her first WTA 1000 win over Lesia Tsurenko.[41] She then lost in three sets against 27th seed Sorana Cirstea.[42]

Eala became the first Filipino player in the Open Era to beat a top-10 and a top-5 player, since the WTA Tour rankings for women’s tennis were first published in 1975. Eala was also the first player ranked outside the top 100 to reach the round of 16 in a 1000 event in the season.[49][50][51][6] Eala reached her first WTA 1000 quarterfinal after receiving a walkover from Paula Badosa[52][53] and then upset world No. 2, Iga Świątek, in straight sets to reach her first career semifinal.
