Second seed Alex Eala draws Alycia Parks to start her Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open campaign
Filipino tennis star Alex Eala caps off her 2026 season as the second seed at the WTA 250 Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open, held 2-8 November at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, where she is set to open against Alycia Parks of the United States.
Alex Eala caps off her 2026 season as the second seed at the WTA 250 Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open, SPIN.ph reported on 31 October 2026. The WTA draw lists her first-round match as A. Parks vs A. Eala (2).
The tournament's main draw runs from 2 to 8 November 2026 at Victoria Park Tennis Center Court in Causeway Bay, according to the official tournament site, with qualifying rounds on 31 October and 1 November. It is organised by the Hong Kong, China Tennis Association and sanctioned by the Women's Tennis Association.
A third meeting with Parks
The match against Alycia Parks of the United States will be their third clash this season, SPIN.ph said. The two split their first two meetings: Parks won 0-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the first round of the Australian Open, while Eala won 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 in the first round of the National Bank Open in Toronto.
If she wins, Eala will face the winner of the match between Tereza Valentova of the Czech Republic and Sun Xinran of China, while a potential clash against Wang Xinyu looms in the quarterfinals, according to SPIN.ph.
After a tough Asian swing
SPIN.ph said the Asian swing had not been kind to Eala, with early exits in Singapore, Wuhan and Ningbo. Her quarterfinal finish at the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo was her best before falling to Diana Shnaider, and throughout that stretch she won only three of her seven matches.
Sorana Cirstea of Romania is the top seed in the 32-player field, which also includes Leylah Fernandez of Canada, Talia Gibson of Australia, Liudmila Samsonova, Katie Boulter of Great Britain, Maya Joint of Australia and Venus Williams.
