My worlds collided! Andrew Garfield said that heโs inspired by Alex Eala whom he watched dethrone #Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek in this British Vogue interview!
โItโs one of those special moments you get to share with an athlete whoโs just beginning on her journey. And it was
Alex Eala still has a few areas to improve before winning a Slam, but sheโs already done more than enough to make us and that girl with the chubby cheeks inside her proud.
Salamat, Alex! Congratulations! ๐
Positive things are happening in the Senate too. LFG, Philippines! ๐ต๐ญ
My goal for Alex for now is to remain seeded for USO and reach the 2nd week again. I kinda dreamed and wished sheโll win Wimbs this year, but the match today proved that she still has a lot of work to do.
The important part is there are improvements, no matter how little. From one win in a majors in five appearances to now four wins in six appearances. Not to mention, the year after your breakout season is always the hardest because youโre now defending points, which is why reaching #28 after Miami and Eastbourne is still a huge achievement.
pahinga ka na alex, great run in wimbledon. come back stronger and better next year. recover your body well at umariba ka ulit sa us open.
salamat sa laban, alex! ๐ฅน๐ต๐ญ

Look at the joy on her face.
The heart of a Filipina is leaving footprints in history.

Congrats, Alex! ๐
