CHONBURI, Thailand – Alex Eala will get a crack at her first Southeast Asian Games crown as she reached the final of the women’s singles after a 6-1, 6-4 win over Thailand’s Thasaporn Naklo on Tuesday, December 16 at the National Tennis Development Centre in Nonthaburi.

Already guaranteed of the silver, the Filipina tennis star has surpassed her bronze finish in the event in the 2021 Vietnam edition and will look to go all the way in the gold-medal match. 

But the final will not feature the highly anticipated clash between Eala and Indonesia’s Janice Tjen, the two highest-ranked WTA players at No. 53 and No. 54, respectively,

Tjen, who has also enjoyed a stellar 2025 like Eala that saw the Indonesian win her first WTA Tour title in the Chennai Open in October, retired from her semifinal match against Thailand’s Mananchaya Sawangkaew due to a breathing issue.

Instead, it will be Eala and world No. 240 Sawangkaew who will duke it out in the final scheduled on Thursday, December 18. 

Eala, who fought back from a 0-2 start against Naklo, has a chance to win the Philippines’ first women’s singles gold in SEA Games tennis since Maricris Fernandez-Gentz accomplished the feat in 1999. 

But before her title duel, Eala can advance to the final of another event as she partners with Francis Casey Alcantara in the mixed doubles semifinals on Wednesday, December 17. – Rappler.com

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

The post One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters. Sinatra’s classic has peaked at No. 11 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, just missing out on becoming another top 10 for the crooner. The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
