Alex Eala to finish WTA 2026 in top 15

MANILA, Philippines — Filipino tennis ace Alex Eala is set for a career-best No. 15 finish in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) 2026 season rankings. Regardless of her WTA 250 Hong Kong Open final result against Claire Liu Sunday afternoon, Eala already secured the No. 15 spot with 2,392 points. After Hong Kong, the only tournament left is the season-ended WTA Finals at Indian Wells from November 8 to 15 but only the top eight players are participating so it won’t affect Eala’s ranking no matter the result. With 2,392 points as her base, last week's No. 17 Eala will eclipse No. 15 Sorana Cirstea who ended her season with 2,386 points. The live rankings Saturday night indicated that Eala can pad her total points to 2,479 with a Hong Kong championship, but that won't be enough to push her up a notch at No. 14. Current No. 14 Elise Mertens will stay at her place since she has 2,540 total points. A top 15 finish meant a 35-rank improvement for Eala who finished last year as top 50. In a fitting follow-up to her first WTA main tour, Eala went on to make a historic fourth-round finish at Wimbledon last July which is the highest for any Filipino player. Eala also secured her first main Tour title at the 500 D.C. Open in Washington last August. Two months earlier in June, Eala claimed a 125-tier Birmingham Open title. Thus, she could raise her titles to three with a Hong Kong championship. Eala made it to the final after defeating Emerson Jones in the first round, 6-4, 6-3; Tereza Valentova in the second, 6-4, 7-6(7), Antonia Ruzic in the quarterfinals, 7-6(7), and Maria Sakkari in the semifinals, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4. The lefty netter was seeking a payback win against world No. 102 Liu in the final. Eala yielded to Liu at the Guangzhou Open first round in October last year, 6-2, 4-6, 4-6.

Egypt fire World Cup coach Hassan over personal issues

PARIS, France — The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has dismissed national team coach Hossam Hassan, citing concerns over the image and stability of the national side following a series of controversies. In a statement on Saturday, the EFA said it had reviewed recent events and their "negative impact on the positive image and stability" of the national team before deciding to part company with Hassan and his coaching staff. Ali Maher, currently in charge of club side Ceramica Cleopatra, was appointed his successor. An EFA source told AFP Hassan's personal issues had created significant tension around the national team. The move came three days after Egypt's Supreme Council for Media Regulation banned Hassan from appearing on media platforms over a case linked to his private life and former wife. Local media reported lawyers representing Hassan had filed a complaint against his ex-wife, Dina Mostafa, known publicly as "Dan Adam", alleging forgery of official documents and bigamy. Those allegations were denied by her representatives. Hassan's future had already been under scrutiny following a string of disputes after Egypt's run to the last 16 of the 2026 World Cup, the country's best-ever performance at the tournament. The former striker, who took charge in March 2024, also led Egypt to the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations before a fourth-place finish. Former Egypt attacker Mido said in September the situation had "gone out of control" and called for officials to intervene. Maher will take charge ahead of Egypt's Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Malawi on November 13 and 17.
