Rains disrupt Miami OpenMANILA, Philippines — Unless Alex Eala replicates her Final Four finish last year in the Miami Open, she’s tipped to take a dip in the WTA rankings – at least a 20-spot drop following the expiration of the ranking points yesterday. The main draw of the WTA-1000 level tour kicked off yesterday, and Eala has to match or surpass her magical Last 4 finish last year to keep the 390 points she earned last year in Miami and stay in the Top 30. Eala, currently No. 29, was to face Germany’s Laura Siegemund, 38 years old and WTA No. But the match was pushed to midnight (Manila time) at the earliest after heavy rains disrupted other matches in Miami.
