Alex Eala heads into Wimbledon with momentum after her singles preparation and recent play, and the tournament is framed as her best chance for a deep Grand Slam run. A seeded place at Wimbledon should give the Filipina a more favorable draw than on her debut last year, when she lost in the first round to Barbora Krejcikova. The practical payoff is a better path to build on the first Grand Slam match win she earned at the US Open last August, which remains her only major victory so far.
