MANILA, Philippines – Alex Eala’s early exit from the Australian Open has a silver lining.
After getting the boot in the opening round of the first Grand Slam of the year, Eala is confirmed to participate in the Philippine Women’s Open, set to take place at the Rizal Memorial Tennis Center from January 26 to 31.
Eala, who is ranked No. 49 in the world, arrived in Manila from Melbourne on Wednesday, January 21, together with parents Rizza and Mike.
“Yes, I will be playing next week. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope people can show up and support the Pinays,” Eala said in a press release.
The Philippine Women’s Open is the first-ever WTA 125 event to be hosted in the country, providing Eala a home event following a scintillating 2025 that saw her accomplish several historic feats.
It also gives Eala a chance to bounce back from her 0-6, 6-3, 6-2 loss to American Alycia Parks in her breakthrough singles main draw appearance in the Australian Open.
Eala had a brief run in the doubles as well, as she and Brazilian partner Ingrid Martins fell to Japan’s Shuko Aoyama and Poland’s Magda Linette.
“It is a huge milestone in Philippine tennis, and I think it’s a big deal for all of us Filipina tennis players,” Eala said.
Aside from Eala, several top 100 players will see action in the country, including world No. 42 Tatjana Maria of Germany, No. 46 Wang Xinyu, No. 63 Solana Sierra of Argentina, No. 72 Donna Vekic of Croatia, No. 84 Camila Osorio of Colombia, and No. 86 Lulu Sun of New Zealand. – Rappler.com

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October
The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets. The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
