The Filipina is now listed to appear at the Kooyong Classic from Jan. 13-15 before the Australian Open.

Her the main draw start at the Australian Open will make it four out of four appearances for Eala in the Grand Slams after making her debut at Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open last year.

Depending on her schedule, Eala could also possibly see action in the first-ever Philippine Women’s Open which is slated at the end of January.

Eala and Indonesia’s Janice Tjen were given Wild Cards by the Philippine Tennis Association in case they are free to participate in the historic tournament.
