Alex Eala, who achieved her first Grand Slam victory in 2025, has not won a major match since. After reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon earlier this year, Eala faced a setback at Roland Garros 2026, losing in the first round to Emiliana Arango. Arango, ranked 85 at the time, has also struggled, losing all seven Grand Slam matches since her win over Eala, including recent first-round exits at major tournaments.
