This was a promising sign from the World ranked no. 68 player, as she recently pulled out of the Cincinnati tournament this week due to the shoulder issues that hobbled her at the Montreal Open.
Last July 28, the 20-year-old Eala was toppled by 26-year-old Czech player Marketa Vondrousova, 6-3, 1-6, 2-6, in Canada due to the said shoulder injuries.
Fortunately, Eala is now back in training, and she will need all the preparations she can get as next up for her is a stint in the US Open.
Recently, Eala slipped to her present Women’s Tennis Association ranking from No.65 due to the results of her previous tilts.
Her previous career-best was No.56 which she earned last June, just after her campaign in the Eastbourne Open and right before she competed in Wimbledon.
