Alex Eala after beating Linette to reach back to back Miami R16
“I think I’ve matured a lot in the last year. I’ve been out in a lot of high pressure moments, a lot of big stages, which I’m so grateful for and wouldn’t trade for the world. Being back in the 4th round, it makes me feel the same as I did last year. I’m so happy. I’m so excited. It’s such a privilege to be back in Miami” 🇵🇭🥹
Eala d. Linette 6-3 7-6
Last year, she became the first Filipino player to reach a WTA 1000 SF
Today, she’s back in the Round of 16
At 20 years old, she’s already done so much for Filipino tennis
But she’s nowhere close to done
✅Back to back Miami R16
Always inspiring 🇵🇭❤️
