Former world No. 4 Tim Henman has singled out Alexandra Eala as one of the US Open's dark horses. Henman, a 11-time singles title winner, praised Eala's game and mentality during the Sky Sports panel. The 21-year-old Filipina has made impressive strides, securing notable victories on hard courts, including the Mubadala DC Open and advancing to the Round of 32 at the Canadian Open.
Henman believes Eala's recent form could translate into a significant impact at the final Grand Slam of the season, where she will face Mary Stoiana in the first round on Wednesday.
