After beginning 2022 at No. 526, the 17-year-old netter moved one spot higher in the penultimate week of the rankings.
Eala earned her second professional title at the W25 Chiang Rai, Thailand, in April last year.
She also took three bronze medals at the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi in May in the women's singles, team, and mixed doubles competitions.
Even though she lost the W60 Madrid singles match in June, Eala's reputation still improved.
After defeating Lucie Havlickova of the Czech Republic in the final in September to earn her third junior Grand Slam title, she went on to win the US Open junior girls trophy.
Eala will now compete in the qualifying round of the 2023 Australian Open for her first Grand Slam event as a woman.(Romeo Braceros Jr.)
