Asian Games 2026: Top athletes and storylines to look out for

The 2026 Asian Games are taking place in Japan, featuring athletes like Alex Eala, the favorite for gold in women's tennis. The 21-year-old recently won her first WTA 1000 title and aims to improve on her bronze medal from 2022. She will compete at the Singapore Open before the games but will skip the Beijing Open, as a gold medal would secure her automatic qualification for the LA 2028 Olympics.
