MANILA — Following her Bad Homburg wild card entry in singles, Filipina tennis star Alex Eala has secured another major breakthrough moment.

The Tennis Channel reported that Eala is set to team up with former world No. 1 Venus Williams in the doubles draw.

This marks the first time that they will pair together, though Eala had previously faced off against Williams in a doubles match. In the ASB Classic in Auckland earlier this year, Eala and Iva Jovic defeated Williams and Elina Svitolina, 7-6(7), 6-1.

The WTA 500 event begins June 21, with the full official player list yet to be published on their website.

For now, Eala’s immediate concern is the WTA 125 Birmingham Open, where she is partnering with world No. 69 Nikola Bartunkova of the Czech Republic.

The pair is set to face second-seeded Great Britain duo Harriet Dart and Maia Lumsden today in court 1, 5:30PM Manila Time.
