Points and money earned by Maya Joint, Alex Eala, Emma Raducanu at Eastbourne

Maya Joint won the final warm-up tournament before Wimbledon as she beat fellow rising star Alex Eala in the final of the Eastbourne Open, but how many points and prize money did the two finalists earn?

The 19-year-old Joint saved four match points to beat Eala, who came through qualifying, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (12-10) in two hours and 28 minutes.

“I’m very happy right now,” the Australian said. “It was a very difficult match. That third set, I’m proud of myself for coming back and staying in the match.”

The teenager has now won two WTA singles titles following her success at the Moroccan Open in May.

Her incredible run at Eastbourne saw her beat three-time Grand Slam finalist Ons Jabeur in the first round and she followed it up with a win over 2021 US Open winner Emma Raducanu while she also overcame 2021 French Open runner-up Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the semi-final.

Eala, meanwhile, reached her maiden WTA final following her breakthrough at the Miami Open in March.

Both, of course, earned a healthy amount of ranking points and prize money for the efforts at the WTA 250 event.

WTA Points Earned At Eastbourne

WTA 250 tournament winners earn 250 points while the runners-up receive 163, but of course players have to defend points from corresponding events 12 months ago so they don’t always go home with the full haul.

Title winner Joint, for instance, collected 230 points as she was dropped 20 points from a tournament in 2024, and she increased her overall points tally in the WTA Rankings to 1,319, which will result in a 10-place jump to a new career high of No 43.

Eala is also set to reach a new high as she went home with 166 points and will rise 18 places to No 56.
