Alex Eala faces Iva Jovic in a US Open exhibition Friday as the draw for the main event is set to be released.

Market Impact

The 21-year-old Filipino and 18-year-old American will play at 6:30 a.m. Manila time on Arthur Ashe Stadium, part of the Stars of the Open series featuring rising stars including Marta Kostyuk and Arthur Fils. Eala has lost their two official 2024 meetings—6-4, 6-2 at the French Open and 6-2, 6-2 at Queen’s Club—though they reached the ASB Classic doubles semifinals in Auckland.

Eala, seeded 29th at Wimbledon and now ranked WTA No. 18, is projected to secure the highest seeding ever for a Filipino player. She has trained this week with two-time US Open champion Venus Williams and aims to improve on her second-round exit from last year’s event when she debuted as world No. 75.

The main draw will be announced later Friday.
