The Filipino netter leaped from No. 37 last week to No. 33 after ruling the 125 Birmingham Open in England Sunday evening, defeating Czech Nikola Bartunkova in the final, 5-7, 6-3, 7-5.

The title gave Eala a net gain of 76 points, boosting her total to 1,416.

Sporting a career-best rank No. 29, Eala will next compete at the 500 HSBC Championships in London slated from June 8 to 14.

Eala will face a qualifier to start her campaign.
