MANILA, Philippines -- Alex Eala of the Philippines faces wildcard Mika Stojsavljevic of Great Britain to begin her campaign at the WTA 500 Tokyo Open in Japan.
World No. 20 Eala takes on No. 308 Stojsavljevic likely on Monday.
Ahead of their clash, Eala is expected to climb to No. 19 in the rankings while Stojsavljevic could drop to No. 411 as reflected in Sunday's live rankings.
Only 17 years old and just about to finish her first season on the WTA Tour, Stojsavljevic sports a career-high rank of No. 261 achieved last June.
