Alex Eala Has 78% of WTA’s Fan Vote — the US Open Champion Has 16%

Alex Eala is dominating the WTA fan vote. The Filipina star currently holds 78% of more than 5,000 votes in the WTA’s “Star of the Swing” poll — while newly crowned US Open champion Elena Rybakina sits at 16%. That gap is striking because the poll includes some of the biggest names and recent champions in women’s tennis. In this video, we break down: Why Alex Eala is leading the WTA fan vote by such a huge margin How she reached 78% Why the US Open champion is far behind at 16% What this says about Eala’s rapidly growing global fanbase Why Filipino fans have become such a major force around her career Eala already won the WTA’s grass-court “Star of the Swing” fan vote earlier this year with nearly 90%, and her support is showing up again during the North American hard-court swing.
