Who is Alex Eala’s coach? Joan Bosch guiding teen star’s rise to the top
Alex Eala’s rise up the WTA Rankings has been one of the biggest stories of 2025 to date.
The Filipina’s run at the Miami Open in March 2025 propelled the 19-year-old inside the top 100 for the very first time, becoming the first woman from her nation to hit that milestone.
Eala beat Jelena Ostapenko, Madison Keys, and Iga Swiatek during a phenomenal surge in Miami, and is now set for significant breakthroughs later this season.
She is set to make her Grand Slam main draw debut at the French Open, and could be in line for Wimbledon and US Open debuts later in the year.
Her connection to the Rafa Nadal Academy is well know, but she has recently been guided in particular by Joan Bosch.
Here, we take you through all there is to know about the man guiding Eala’s recent rise.
Playing and coaching career
Bosch briefly pursued a playing career during the 1990s, though his involvement with tennis has largely seen him involved with coaching.
His best-known work is with that of Spanish great Carlos Moya, coaching the former world No 1 during his starring role in Spain’s 2004 Davis Cup win, and to multiple titles on the ATP Tour.
